“The chief minister is expected to appear at the zonal office of the agency in Ranchi on Tuesday,” an official said.
The Jharkhand high court dismissed Soren’s plea against the fifth summons. He first moved the Supreme Court over it. The top court directed him to file his plea before the high court.
Soren, who is the executive president of the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, is yet to challenge the high court order.
