Soren has denied the allegations, saying that the plot of land at Baragai in question has been “wrongfully alleged to be owned and possessed” by him.
He claimed that he learnt that the lands were “Bhuinhari land,” which cannot be sold or alienated in any manner whatsoever, and that neither he nor his family owned or possessed such land.
The ED, on the other hand, alleged that Soren was “directly” involved in the process connected with acquisition, possession and the use of proceeds of crime.
“Soren is knowingly a party with Bhanu Pratap Prasad in the activities connected with concealment of the original records for projecting the property acquired by him in an illegal manner as an untainted property,” it said.
