Overview

• A video posted on September 7 shows Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma inviting a schoolboy to visit his Guwahati residence during a brief public exchange.
• In the footage, Sarma asks for the teen’s phone number, dials it on his own device, speaks to the boy’s mother, and assures a call back.
• The interaction occurs as the chief minister prepares to depart after an event with his convoy, including a helicopter, waiting nearby.
• The clip, shared on X by user @PoornimaNimo, drew both praise for approachability and skepticism from users who questioned whether the moment was staged.
• India Today identified the teen as Swagath Mishra, and The Sentinel cited unnamed sources saying a visit is being arranged, a follow-up not confirmed by the other reports.
