Overview
- A Special Investigation Team led by Special DGP (CID) Munna Prasad Gupta submitted a 96-page report to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma earlier this week.
- Sarma alleges the findings expose an anti-India cartel involving a Pakistani citizen and the Congress MP’s British wife, with sensitive material cited.
- The report will be taken up by the Assam cabinet after the Sept. 22 Bodoland Territorial Council elections, with any public release subject to legal review.
- Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi denies the allegations and accuses the government of fabrication, as opposition leaders decry politicisation and seek clear rules on handling “suspicious foreigners.”
- The SIT was formed on Feb. 17 to probe alleged anti-India activities linked to Pakistani national Ali Tauqeer Sheikh and his associates.
