“He must have some hand in the current problems.”

Meaning – he must have been involved in the problem somehow.

The word hand is similar to the word “part” in that particular sentence. You could actually replace hand with part and it would mean the same thing.

You take hold of things with your hands. You use your hands to work on something, manipulate it, make use of it for some purpose. When somebody says a person “had a hand in” something, it’s a way of saying he got his hands on it…. got involved with it…. became a part of whatever was happening. It does not any more have to mean just something physical. The expression has been expanded to cover anything where you wish to say that somebody was involved in a particular thing.

The meaning of hand in this context is “Involvement”.

and the whole meaning of the sentance is- he must have involved to the some extent in the current problems.

This refers to an electrical contractor who was found fried and dead next to a faulty junction box.

Investigators on the scene made the statement you question to suggest he made unprotected contact with a live circuit causing his death by electrocution.
