Supreme Court denies bail to ex Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren
The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader was arrested in connection with allegations of land grabbing including fictitous transactions and forged documents by the Enforcement Directorate few months ago.
Soren's advocate Kapil Sibal decided to withdraw the bail application in the Supreme Court as the bench indicated that it did not view the matter favourably.
As a result Soren will be unable to campaign for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Although half of the 14 Jharkhand seats have already been voted upon, the other half are set to vote on 25 May and 1 June.
Many in the Soren camp and INDIA block view this verdict as directly contradictory to the bail granted to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal 2 weeks ago.
