The ED had rejected Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren's request to prepone his questioning date to November 16 instead of November 17, which was earlier fixed in the agency's second summon, according to the sources.
Earlier on Wednesday conducted raids at Telangana minister Gangula Kamalakar's residence in Karimnagar in connection with a granite company involved in an alleged illegal mining case.
The first summon was issued on November 1, in which ED had asked Hemant Soren to appear on November 3, but later three weeks' time was sought from the Chief Minister citing official engagement.
Soren's lawyer had forwarded the same request earlier too which was denied by the election commission of India citing that this is a communication between two constitutional institutions which cannot be shared with anyone else.
