The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has made four fresh arrests in connection with the alleged illegal land grab-linked money laundering case against former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren and others, official sources said on April 17.
Antu Tirkey, Priya Ranjan Sahay, Bipin Singh and Irshad have been taken into custody under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the sources said.
On April 16, the ED conducted searches at the premises of Mr. Tirkey and some others in Ranchi and the four were arrested following their questioning. Mr. Tirkey is allegedly linked to Mr. Soren while Mr. Singh is a real estate businessman. Mr. Sahay “forged” some land-related documents along with others, according to the charge sheet filed in the case.
