- The chief minister said he holds proof but will present it only after the Garg investigation concludes, tying disclosure to his stated December 17 chargesheet timeline.
- An Assam police Special Investigation Team led by Special DGP (CID) Munna Prasad Gupta submitted its report on September 10, but its contents have not been made public.
- Sarma’s accusations focus on purported links through Gogoi’s British wife, a claim both the Congress MP and his wife have categorically denied.
- Gogoi rejected the allegations as baseless, called Sarma “unfit” to be chief minister, and questioned the timing as the state mourned singer Zubeen Garg.
