In a dramatic turn of events, Assam Police conducted a search of Congress leader Pawan Khera’s residence in New Delhi on April 7, 2026. The operation, which took place just days before the Assam Assembly elections scheduled for April 9, has sparked significant controversy and political backlash.

During the search, Khera was reportedly not present at his residence. However, police officials confirmed that they discovered incriminating material, the details of which have yet to be disclosed. This search is part of a broader investigation following an FIR filed against Khera by Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, who has accused him of conspiracy and fraud.

The allegations are particularly serious, with Sarma claiming that Khera has links to foreign assets, including accusations that she holds three foreign passports. Khera has vehemently denied these claims, asserting that Sarma’s passports are indeed fake, a statement backed by Himanta Biswa Sarma, who stated that confirmation had been received from a Dubai government website regarding the authenticity of the passport.

Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Assam Chief Minister, further escalated the situation by accusing Khera of fleeing to Hyderabad following the police search. “He ran away from Guwahati yesterday,” Sarma stated, intensifying the scrutiny on Khera as the elections approach.

The political landscape in Assam is heating up, with Congress labeling the police action as a “witch hunt.” Jairam Ramesh, a senior Congress leader, condemned the actions, stating, “This is not due process but instead a witch hunt, a bully using state machinery to muzzle and silence the voice of the Opposition that is exposing his many black deeds.”

As the situation unfolds, the controversy surrounding Khera and the allegations against Riniki Bhuyan Sarma are indicative of the high-stakes environment leading up to the elections. With the Assam Assembly elections just around the corner, the implications of these developments could be significant for all parties involved.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific nature of the incriminating material found during the search. The political ramifications of this incident are likely to reverberate through the election cycle, as both parties prepare for a contentious battle at the polls.

The public’s reaction to these developments remains mixed, with many closely watching how the situation will evolve in the coming days. The outcome of the elections could very well hinge on the perceptions shaped by these allegations and the responses from both Khera and the Assam Police.
