On Wednesday, the Enforcement Directorate reportedly carried out searches at various locations associated with Rohit Oraon, the son of Jharkhand’s Finance Minister Rameshwar Oroan, along with others. These actions are in connection with an alleged case involving the illegal sale of liquor in the state.
The searches are part of an investigation into potential money laundering linked to the purported liquor scam in Jharkhand. Approximately 34 locations in the cities of Ranchi, Dumka, Deoghar, and the Godda districts are currently being examined by officials from the central investigative agency, with security assistance from the CRPF.
Responding to these searches, Rajesh Thakur, the head of Jharkhand’s Congress, commented, “The Enforcement Directorate should initially disclose the locations where the searches are being carried out. They should clearly state the basis for conducting these searches. Is the illegal liquor trade limited to states not governed by the BJP? Does such activity only occur in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Delhi?”
