India Congress Leader Wins Court Relief in Passport Allegations Tied to Assam Chief Minister's Wife
Pawan Khera, a senior Congress Party leader in India, received temporary transit anticipatory bail from the Telangana High Court on April 10, 2026, in connection with allegations involving Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife and passport claims. The one-week relief allows Khera time to approach the appropriate court while shielding him from immediate arrest. Khera has characterized the case as political vendetta by the ruling BJP government, escalating tensions between India's major opposition party and the center. This reflects deepening judicial battles in India's polarized political landscape, where legal cases frequently intersect with party competition.
