Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Saturday, April 30, 2022, took a swipe at Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over a court in Assam pulling up the State police for lodging a "false FIR" against Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani, asking whether the CM will entrust the CBI to find out who was the "insane person" who caused the FIR to be registered.
Granting bail to Mr. Mevani in a case related to the alleged "assault" of a woman police officer, a court in Assam's Barpeta district on Friday pulled up the state police for lodging the "false FIR".
Hearing the bail petition, Barpeta District and Sessions Judge Aparesh Chakraborty also urged the Gauhati High Court to direct the State police force to "reform itself", referring to the slew of police encounters over the last one year.
