Hemant Soren is an Indian politician who currently serves as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand. A prominent leader of the regional Jharkhand Mukti Morcha party, he belongs to the Santhal Adivasi tribal community and has completed multiple tenures in state leadership.
Arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31, 2024, in connection with an alleged money laundering land scam, leading to his temporary resignation as Chief Minister. After spending months in judicial custody, he was granted bail by the Jharkhand High Court in June 2024 due to lack of prima facie evidence. In June 2026, a Special Court rejected his discharge petition, meaning he will face trial while remaining out on bail.
