Overview

  • Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said a press conference will be held in the coming days to share a gist of the report and related documents.
  • The SIT, led by Special DGP (CID) Munna Prasad Gupta, was formed on February 17 and submitted its report to the Chief Minister on September 10.
  • The cabinet held an informal discussion on the findings and a formal listing is expected, with Delhi-based journalists to be invited given Gogoi’s national role.
  • Sarma said statements recorded in the probe and portions labeled as official secrets will not be released, though annexed documents will be made public.
  • Gaurav Gogoi has rejected the allegations as politically motivated, noting a 2013 Pakistan trip tied to his wife’s work, while political rivals escalate rhetoric over possible consequences.
