Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was arrested in a money laundering case after resigning, refusing to sign the arrest memo until he stepped down, according to Enforcement Directorate officials. Soren, questioned for six hours in connection with a ₹600-crore land scam, filed a case against ED officers earlier. Transport Minister Champai Soren, not his wife Kalpana as speculated, is set to become the new CM. The arrest followed a search at Soren's Delhi residence, revealing cash and a BMW. Soren claimed harassment and misinformation in the ED's actions, sparking a seismic shift in Jharkhand politics.
