The court direction came on the basis of a petition filed by Congress Lok Sabha MP Abdul Khaleque.
A Guwahati court has directed the police to register a case against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for allegedly saying that the last year's eviction drive in Garukhuti village of Darrang district was an "act of revenge".
The court direction came on the basis of a petition filed by Congress Lok Sabha MP Abdul Khaleque. In his complaint, the Congress MP stated that Mr Sarma had stated that the eviction exercise at Gorukhuti in Darang district was 'revenge' for the incidents of 1983 - when some youths there were killed during the Assam Agitation.
Mr Khaleque had approached the court of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, alleging police inaction after the Dispur police station did not register an FIR against the Chief Minister.
Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate Biswadeep Baruah in his order on Saturday, a copy of which is available with NDTV, directed the Dispur police station to register the complaint against Mr Sarma.
