Guwahati: The Assam Crime Branch has officially summoned senior Congress leader Randeep Surjewala to appear for questioning on May 23. This development is part of an ongoing investigation into allegations involving Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, the wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
This summons follows recent legal scrutiny involving Congress leader Pawan Khera, who was questioned by authorities in Guwahati last week. Khera stated that he is cooperating with the investigative process and is scheduled to return for additional questioning on May 25. While speaking to the press, Khera maintained his commitment to legal procedures but declined to offer further comments on the specific allegations he previously leveled against the Chief Minister's family.
The controversy originated from claims made by Khera in April, suggesting that Riniki Bhuyan Sarma possesses passports from India, the UAE, and Egypt, alongside undisclosed properties in Dubai and a company in Wyoming, USA. The Sarma family has firmly denied these accusations, labeling the documents as AI-generated fabrications distributed by external social media entities. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has dismissed the claims as politically motivated, threatening legal action and suggesting that the misinformation campaign may be linked to broader efforts by Congress leadership.
