Fridge, Smart TV As Evidence In Money Laundering Case Against Hemant Soren

According to a PTI report, the agency obtained these receipts from two Ranchi-based dealers and attached them to its chargesheet against the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader last month. The special PMLA court took cognisance of the prosecution complaint on April 4, the report added.

As per the central probe agency, both the refrigerator and smart TV were bought in the name of the family of Santosh Munda, who told ED that he has been living as a caretaker of the property of the ex-CM on the said 8.86 acre land for the past 14-15 years.

The ED used Munda's statement to counter the JMM leader's claims that he had no link with the said land. It also rejected the claim of one Rajkumar Pahan on the piece of land, alleging that he was a "front" for Soren to keep the asset under his control.
