Congress leader Pawan Khera faced rigorous questioning from Assam Police for a second consecutive day amid accusations against Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, the wife of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The allegations include ownership of multiple passports and undisclosed foreign properties.

Khera, cooperating with the police, refrained from commenting until investigations concluded. Assam Chief Minister Sarma stated that the documents presented by Khera are fake, implying a swift investigation.

Amidst political tensions, Khera's anticipatory bail journey traversed the judicial ladder, involving the Telangana High Court and later the Supreme Court, which granted him relief. The case highlights political rivalries influencing legal actions.
