The residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera in Delhi's Nizamuddin area was searched by Assam Police following a defamation case linked to his remarks about Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family. The action comes within hours of Khera's allegations, triggering a sharp political face-off. The Congress has termed the move as "intimidation", with party chief Mallikarjun Kharge questioning the timing and intent of the raids. Meanwhile, the BJP maintains that due legal process is being followed after an FIR was filed. With Khera reportedly not present at his residence during the search, the developments have further intensified the political battle, raising questions over due process, timing, and the broader implications ahead of key political contests.
