New Delhi, April 7 An Assam Police team arrived at the Delhi residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera on Tuesday for questioning in connection with a case related to allegations made against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family, official sources said.
The team formally informed the Delhi Police upon arrival, after which a local police team joined and is assisting in the investigation, the source said.
This development comes amid a political dispute after Sarma alleged that the Congress used "false information" obtained from a Pakistani social media group to level charges against his wife regarding multiple passports and overseas assets. He termed the allegations as an attempt to influence the Assam elections and a punishable offense.
Khera had recently sought clarification on Sarma's wife's alleged foreign assets, prompting a complaint and subsequent police action.
