Assam Police conducted searches at Congress leader Pawan Khera’s residence at Nizamuddin in New Delhi today. The searches came after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma lodged an FIR against Khera, accusing him of making unfounded allegations against her of having passports of three countries and properties in Dubai and the US.
Khera had made the allegations during a press conference in New Delhi.
Talking to reporters after the search, DCP of Assam Police Debajit Nath said that Khera was not present in the house and they have seized some incriminating documents from his house.
CM Sarma claimed that Khera has fled to Hyderabad.
“Till yesterday he was saying ‘arrest me’, now the police went and he fled to Hyderabad. I will turn Pawan Khera into ‘Pawan Peda,’” he said.
