ED seized money, SUV from Soren's Delhi residence

An ED team searched Soren's Delhi residence on Monday, and camped there for almost 13 hours in order to question him in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land deal in Jharkhand.

The agency claimed to have seized Rs 36 lakh, an SUV and some "incriminating" documents during the search.

Soren is presently being questioned by ED sleuths at his Ranchi residence regarding the same case.
