Jharkhand High Court Stays Police Probe Against ED Officials, Orders Central Security

The Jharkhand High Court has stayed the police investigation against Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials following an FIR lodged by the state police. The court directed the deployment of central paramilitary forces to secure the ED's Ranchi office and ordered preservation of CCTV footage. Opposition leader Babulal Marandi welcomed the ruling, criticizing the state government for allegedly attempting to influence the federal probe, while the ruling party urged restraint, emphasizing the matter is sub judice and under legal process.
