The case stems from Khera’s accusations that Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, wife of Himanta Biswa Sarma, held foreign passports from UAE, Egypt, and Antigua-Barbuda, along with owning Dubai properties. He further questioned her eligibility in the context of Assam's immigration concerns. In response, Riniki filed an FIR accusing Khera of defamation, forgery, cheating, and conspiracy.
Subsequent verification by police and sources within the Ministry of External Affairs confirmed that the documents cited by Khera were photoshopped and fake. These findings became central to the legal proceedings, as the court examined the credibility and implications of the allegations.
Despite arguments presented by Khera’s legal team claiming political motivation behind the case, the court declined to grant anticipatory bail. The rejection leaves Khera facing possible arrest, while also opening the path for a potential appeal before the Supreme Court.
The ruling underscores the judiciary’s firm stance on cases involving alleged misinformation and forged evidence, marking a critical moment in a politically sensitive dispute with broader implications for accountability and legal scrutiny in public discourse.
