Ranchi: On August 24 (Thursday), the ED in Jharkhand called Chief Minister Hemant Soren for interrogation about land-related issues. Whether he will visit the ED office or not is uncertain.

He has not yet written the ED about this in any letter. According to intelligence, they could also dispute the ED's power before the Supreme Court. Information on this, though, has not yet been made public.

CM may ask ED for more time

Additionally, they could ask for some extra time from the ED or visit the office. On Thursday, he has a commitment in the Project Bhavan Secretariat. Earlier, on August 8 and August 14, the ED had summoned him.

The validity was contested

On August 14, the Chief Minister skipped the ED office. He had sought for the ED's summons to be removed because he disputed its legitimacy. Only after that did the ED call him in for a second time.
