ED tightens grip on this liquor syndicate worth crores
This action of ED is related to the alleged liquor scam in Jharkhand, in which there are serious allegations of causing huge loss to government revenue and illegal money laundering. Even before this, the investigating agency had raided the residences of former minister Rameshwar Oraon and his close ones, from where many important documents and evidence related to financial transactions were seized. Now, on the basis of these evidences and statements, ED has summoned the father-son duo to the regional office in Ranchi for questioning by making them sit face to face.
Investigating agency investigating Rohit Oraon’s business connections
According to information received from sources, ED has received inputs that former minister’s son Rohit Oraon has direct financial relations with some business establishments and liquor traders, who were the main focal points of this entire syndicate. The investigating agency is trying to find out whether the position was misused to favor favored suppliers by flouting rules and whether the money was routed through shell companies. After this summons, Rohit Oraon’s troubles seem to be increasing considerably.
Opposition attacks, political temperature rises amid election atmosphere
After this high-profile summons in Jharkhand, political rhetoric has reached its peak. Opposition parties have attacked the government and former ministers and called it a living proof of corruption, while the ruling party has alleged that the central investigating agencies are being used out of political malice. However, the eyes of the entire Jharkhand are fixed on this upcoming inquiry to be conducted in the ED office, because the facts emerging from this inquiry can decide the direction and condition of the politics of the state.
