Ex-Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was released from jail after he was granted bail by the High Court in a land scam case this morning. "Bail is granted. The court held, prima facie, Hemant Soren is not guilty, and there is no likelihood of the petitioner committing an offence on bail," his counsel, Arunabh Chowdhury, told news agency PTI.
Given there are no other cases against him at this time, Mr Soren may be released soon. Bail was granted on payment of a bail bond of Rs. 50,000 and two sureties of the same amount each..
