Assam CM says police decide Congress leader's case

The Gauhati High Court has rejected an anticipatory bail plea filed by senior Congress leader Pawan Khera. In response, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that the outcome of the case is entirely up to the Assam Police. He added that he would only review the case after May 4, following the state election, if he returns to power. The ruling is a significant legal setback for the opposition politician.
