Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was released from Birsa Munda jail after being granted bail by the Jharkhand High Court in a money laundering case linked to a land scam. Arrested on January 31, Soren spent five months in jail. The court granted bail on a ₹50,000 bond, noting no prima facie evidence of his guilt and no likelihood of reoffending. Soren denounced his detention as a politically motivated conspiracy. The Enforcement Directorate opposed the bail, citing his potential to misuse influence. The bail decision came two weeks after the court reserved its order on his plea.
