New Delhi: The political landscape has reached a boiling point just 48 hours before the Assam Assembly elections. In a dramatic escalation of the “Passport-Gate” controversy, a specialised team from the Assam Police’s Crime Branch, supported by Delhi Police, raided the residence of senior Congress leader Pawan Khera in Nizamuddin, Delhi, on Tuesday.
The raid follows a series of accusations and legal counter-strikes that have sent the final leg of the election campaign into a frenzy. However, sources confirm that Pawan Khera has since flown from the capital to Hyderabad, even as the legal and political heat continues to rise in his wake.
