Hemant Soren has been summoned for a second time by the ED
New Delhi:
The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren for a second time for questioning in a case linked to alleged money laundering.
Mr Soren had skipped the first summon and dared the central agency to arrest him. Later, he had sought more time.
The Enforcement Directorate, or ED, has told the Jharkhand Chief Minister to come to questioning on November 17.
Mr Soren was first summoned by the ED at its Ranchi office on November 3. But he did not appear and instead addressed workers of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, or JMM, which has a coalition state government with the Congress, outside his house.
Mr Soren called the ED’s summon to him a “part of a plot to harass a tribal Chief Minister”.
