The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has seized an SUV, Rs 36 lakh in cash, and documents from the Delhi residence of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren amid an investigation into a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam. Claims that CM Soren was untraceable stirred political unrest, with BJP MP Nishikant Dubey suggesting that Soren was 'on the run'. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) workers protested in Ranchi, alleging a BJP conspiracy to destabilize the government. Jharkhand Governor CP Radhakrishnan summoned senior officials to discuss the state's political situation. The BJP has called for President's Rule in Jharkhand, while JMM workers planned a protest march to Raj Bhavan. ED officials arrived at Soren's Ranchi residence to question him on January 31. Amidst this, an FIR was lodged by Hemant Soren against ED sleuths over their searches at his Delhi house. There are also reports of a potential succession plan involving Soren's wife, Kalpana Soren, becoming the Chief Minister, though there is reported dissent within the party regarding this.
