Event Summary

A local court in India — Guwahati rejected the Assam — Assam Police's plea for a non-bailable warrant against Congress leader Pawan Khera. The case was filed by Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, wife of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who alleged that Pawan Khera made false claims in press conferences about her possessing multiple passports and foreign property. The court found the police's grounds for the warrant to be based on presumptions without material evidence. Pawan Khera had initially received transit anticipatory bail from the India — Telangana High Court, but the India — Supreme Court of India later stayed this order and directed him to seek bail in Assam.
