The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) party, which currently controls the state, is the target of a crackdown by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is continuing its extensive investigation into the case of illicit mining in the state. Hemant Soren, the chief minister of Jharkhand, came under further scrutiny when raids at the home of Pankaj Mishra, a leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), resulted in the seizure of a passbook and a check that was signed by the chief minister.
According to the report submitted by the Enforcement Directorate, Pankaj Mishra is the principal accused in the illegal mining case in Jharkhand (ED). The JMM leader is still being held in judicial custody after being detained on July 19 by the Prevention of Money Laundering Act’s (PMLA) requirements.
In addition to Mishra, two other individuals connected to the party, Bacchu Yadav and Prem Prakash, were designated as the main defendants in the state’s money laundering investigation and were incarcerated in August. The investigation into the matter of unlawful mining is still ongoing.
