The Jharkhand government on Tuesday issued instructions for all the departments directing them to not answer any queries by central probe agencies or hand over any documents to them directly. Instead, the departments have been directed to report all queries to the Cabinet Secretariat or the Vigilance Department for processing. The state cabinet adopted the decision at a time when Chief Minister Hemant Soren and several other officials are facing multiple summons from the federal financial investigation agency Enforcement Directorate (ED).
