Hyderabad, April 8 Congress leader Pawan Khera moved the Telangana High Court on Wednesday, seeking anticipatory bail in a case filed against him by the Assam government in connection with his allegations against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife.
Khera, who provided his residential address in Hyderabad, requested the court to release him on bail if he were to be arrested.
The petition was filed on April 7.
The Congress leader had alleged on April 5 that Sarma's wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, possesses multiple passports and foreign properties, which were not declared in the chief minister's election affidavit.
Khera named the DCP of the Guwahati Crime Branch, P S, and the Telangana government as respondents in the petition.
An Assam police team had earlier visited Khera's residence in Delhi for questioning in connection with the case.
