Congress leader Pawan Khera on Wednesday approached the Telangana High Court seeking anticipatory bail in the complaint filed against him by Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and his wife Riniki Bhuyan Sharma. The case was filed after Khera levelled allegations on Sarma’s wife that she has multiple passports.
Taking action on CM’s complaint, an Assam Police team on Tuesday reached the Delhi residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera for questioning him and carried out a search. However, Khera was not found there.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a scathing attack on Pawan Khera and accused him of “running away.”
Speaking to reporters, Sarma claimed, “Those who levelled allegations are now running away…The governments of three states have said that the documents on which the allegations were levelled are duplicate.”
He further intensified his accusations by suggesting a deeper conspiracy behind the allegations, saying, “These documents might have been given to Pawan Khera by Rahul Gandhi.”
In a press conference on Sunday, Khera alleged that the chief minister’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, has multiple passports and foreign property, which were not declared in the CM’s election affidavit.
