Late politician and former Jharkhand CM Shibu Soren served as Union Coal Minister multiple times between 2004 and 2006. However, he faced major legal troubles, including a 2004 arrest warrant for the 1975 Chirudih massacre. He was later acquitted, but controversy resurfaced in 2006 with his conviction in the Shashinath Jha murder case—eventually overturned by the Supreme Court in 2018.
