Congress media chief Pawan Khera on Wednesday levelled a fresh set of allegations against Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma a day before the state goes to the polls on April 9.
"Why do you want to silence us?" he questioned in a video recorded from an undisclosed location, alleging that the Assam CM had been using the police to intimidate him.

"100 policemen went to my flat in Delhi ... Wherever I go or they think I have gone, they send the police ... We are saying that these documents have come and you should investigate. Am I saying something wrong? Instead of answering, you are starting to curse everyone," he said in the video, adding that he had to keep asking questions, and that he had escaped for his own safety.
The Congress leader reiterated that the alleged shell company that he had earlier linked to CM Sarma and his wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma was registered in Wyoming under her name.
He added that the company's official website had listed a London address as its primary one, in addition to two other addresses in Dubai and Dhaka. Khera claimed that this address was also linked with 'Bhuyan Properties Ltd', as per UK government records.
"It can be known only through investigation. You are in government, and you should probe these rather than trying to intimidate us," he added.
This is the latest twist in Khera's corruption allegations against CM Sarma and his wife Riniki, centred around their alleged properties and shell companies in various countries, and her passports from various countries.
Amid Khera's attempts to bring out his allegations against the Assam CM on the eve of the elections, the Congress leader also managed to move the Telangana High Court, seeking anticipatory bail in an FIR filed by Riniki in connection with the allegations.
The FIR has been registered at the Guwahati Police Station under provisions dealing with false election-related statements, cheating, forgery, defamation, and intentional insults with the intent to provoke disorder, as per a Live Law report.
Assam's 126 Assembly constituencies are all set to go to the polls on Thursday, with the votes to be counted on May 4.
