Hemanth Soren

The JMM leads an alliance that includes the Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, and a Left party. The timing of Hemant Soren’s return is a strategic move by the ruling alliance in preparation for the upcoming Assembly election later this year

Mr. Soren has consistently denied the charges, accusing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party of framing his arrest to disrupt the opposition just weeks before the Lok Sabha election.

A vacation bench led by Justice Dipankar Dutta is set to hear Soren's plea on Tuesday.
