The WhatsApp groups formed by all the accused in the Harni boat tragedy have become an important piece of evidence for the investigators. The police said that the key accused used to discuss and post finances and daily collection figures from the Harni Lake zone leisure activities, including the boating facility, on these groups. With all the 20 accused in their custody, the police have started preparing to file a chargesheet in the court by March 16.
The ED has accessed new documents, which are indicative of the car being owned by a company associated with Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu, while some of the electronic evidences the agency has show the car was handed over to Soren by the buyers.
The ED had, in a 35-page letter last September which News18 has accessed, attached evidence on the malpractices to launder huge amounts of cash and requested the Hemant Soren-led govt to initiate a probe into the larger scam around transfer postings. The state, however, is yet to file an FIR
