The Gauhati High Court in Assam, India, has reserved its decision on the anticipatory bail plea of Congress leader Pawan Khera, who is facing serious allegations stemming from a complaint filed by Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, the wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Khera's petition follows a Supreme Court directive after a Telangana High Court granted him transit anticipatory bail. During the hearing, Khera's senior counsel, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, argued that Khera is not a flight risk and that the accusations against him are motivated by political vendetta. Conversely, Assam's Advocate General Devajit Saikia countered that the case involves significant charges such as cheating and forgery, asserting that Khera should not receive interim protection. The FIR against Khera includes allegations of false statements related to elections, cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy, following Khera's claims about Bhuyan's alleged possession of multiple passports and undisclosed properties.
