<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nGuwahati: After Supreme Court refused to extend the transit anticipatory bail protection for Congress neta Pawan Khera, granted to him by the Telangana HC, following an FIR filed in Assam, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma<\/a> said it was time for Khera to \u201csurrender before the law in Guwahati\u201d. The SC ruling effectively opens the door for Assam Police to initiate action against Khera on Riniki Bhuyan Sharma\u2019s FIR for alleged defamation. Sarma had earlier expressed displeasure over how Khera was able to leave Guwahati soon after the FIR was registered, saying \u201cthis means Assam Police had let him go\u201d. Khera had alleged earlier this month that Riniki possessed several foreign passports, had undeclared offshore assets and operated a shell company in the US, charges the chief minister and his wife rejected as \u201cfalse and fabricated\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
