Amid the Enforcement Directorate issuing a fresh summons to Chief Minister Hemant Soren asking him to join the investigation in a money laundering case, the JMM leader on January 27 departed for the national capital sparking off speculations regarding the sudden visit.
His trip to Delhi came in the backdrop of the ED asking him whether he would be available for questioning on either January 29 or January 31.
"The visit was not planned. The sudden plan was made after the issuance of a fresh summons by the ED. He has his scheduled events lined up including a programme in Chaibasa on January 29, in Palamu on January 30 and in Giridih on January 31," an official who did not wish to be quoted said.
