The Enforcement Directorate opposed former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren's plea seeking interim bail in the Supreme Court on Monday, reported news agency PTI. Soren is seeking an interim bail in a money-laundering case linked to an alleged land scam to campaign in the Lok Sabha polls.

In its affidavit filed in the top court on Soren's plea against his arrest and for interim bail, the probe agency said the materials on record establish that the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader was involved in the acquisition and possession of properties in an illegal manner which are proceeds of crime.
