The mortal remains of Jharkhand Education Minister Ramdas Soren, who died at a private hospital in Delhi, were brought to Ranchi on Saturday morning.
Several Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Congress leaders had reached Birsa Munda Airport to pay floral tributes to Soren.
"The mortal remains of Education Minister Ramdas Soren were brought to Ranchi's Bisra Munda Airport. His body will be kept on Jharkhand Assembly premises, where last tributes will be paid," Soren's personal secretary Ajay Sinha was quoted as saying by PTI.

The JMM leader’s body will be later taken to his assembly constituency Ghatshila, where he will lie in repose at Mau Bhandar Maidan and the JMM camp office.
Soren was undergoing treatment after he fell in the bathroom of his residence on August 2. He was airlifted to the Delhi hospital from Jamshedpur after his condition worsened.
A multidisciplinary team of senior specialists was closely monitoring his condition and providing intensive medical care.
Ramdas Soren was one of the most influential ministers in the Hemant Soren-led cabinet.
A three-time MLA from Ghatshila, Soren defeated BJP's Babulal Soren, son of former Chief Minister Champai Soren, in the 2022 Assembly elections. He was inducted into the state cabinet on August 30, after Champai Soren resigned as minister and MLA.
