CM Sarma Claims Pawan Khera Fled as Assam Police Reach Delhi
Himanta claims Pawan Khera fled as Assam police arrive.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that a key individual “has run away” as Assam police reached the residence of Pawan Khera in Delhi on Monday. The police visit comes in connection with an ongoing investigation related to alleged irregularities in Assam, though the exact details of the probe have not been publicly disclosed.
According to sources, the Assam police team traveled to Delhi to question Khera, a senior political figure, in relation to claims involving financial or administrative misconduct in Assam. Himanta Biswa Sarma, speaking to reporters, confirmed that authorities were attempting to gather evidence but noted that the person they were seeking was currently not present.
The development sparked heightened attention in both Assam and Delhi, with political observers noting that inter-state police actions against prominent leaders are rare and typically indicate serious legal or administrative concerns. Authorities emphasized that their efforts are focused on obtaining necessary information while adhering to legal protocols.

Pawan Khera, a senior leader from the Indian National Congress, has not yet issued a statement regarding the Assam police’s visit to his residence. Local Delhi police confirmed the presence of the Assam police officials at the site but declined to provide further details, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.
Himanta Biswa Sarma’s remarks and the Assam police’s visit have stirred a wave of political debate, with opposition parties questioning the timing and intent behind the action. Analysts suggest that the move could influence political dynamics in Assam, particularly in the lead-up to state-level elections or administrative reviews.
Authorities have reiterated that the investigation is being conducted within the framework of the law, and further updates are expected once the Assam police complete their inquiries in Delhi. The situation remains fluid, with officials monitoring developments closely to ensure procedural compliance.
