A special bench of three Supreme Court judges, including Justice Sanjeev Khanna, will hear Jharkhand leader Hemant Soren's petition challenging his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate. Soren, accusing the ED of a "conspiracy" by the Centre ahead of elections, resigned as Chief Minister. He seeks immediate release, declaring the arrest as unwarranted and violating fundamental rights. Soren claims his arrest aims to topple his elected government. The plea highlights alleged misuse of ED powers. The special bench will address the case tomorrow, emphasizing Soren's apprehension and the circumstances of his arrest.
