In Jharkhand, ruling JMM MLA Sita Soren, the daughter-in-law of former Chief Minister Shibu Soren, today surrendered to a local court in Ranchi in a case of horse trading.

The case was registered by CBI after Election Commission of India rescinded the original notification for the 2012 Rajya Sabha polls for Jharkhand.
