Hyderabad, April 8 -- Congress leader and national spokesperson Pawan Khera on Wednesday, April 8, has approached the Telangana High Court seeking anticipatory bail in connection with the cases filed against him by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his wife Riniki Bhuyan Sharma.

The previous day, Khera's Delhi residence was searched by the Assam Police. The action followed a political firestorm that erupted after Congress held two press conferences in Delhi and Guwahati on April 5, where Khera and Assam Congress chief Gaurav Gogoi alleged that Sarma's wife holds three passports: The United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Antigua and Barbuda and properties in Dubai as well as a company registered in Wyoming, United States.
