“I will not cow down…Ultimately truth will prevail,” Soren said in a video message recorded just before his arrest.
Soren also claimed that he was not linked to the money-laundering case in which he was arrested.
The JMM leader was arrested on Wednesday night in a money-laundering case after resigning as the Jharkhand chief minister, and party loyalist and state Transport Minister Champai Soren was named his successor.
