Soren was put under house arrest, according to officials.

Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) is a state-run superspeciality hospital at Bariatu. RIMS-2 is the second such institution the state government has planned to improve the medical infrastructure of the state, and it has selected a site at Nagri for its construction.

Soren was informed about his house arrest through a social media post.

"The Jharkhand government has put me under house arrest since this morning to stop me from raising the voice of the tribal/indigenous farmers of Nagri," his Facebook post reads.
