An FIR was lodged regarding a controversial letter associated with Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, hinting at adjustments before the upcoming Assam Assembly elections. The complaint, filed by a Union Ministry official at Parliament Street Police Station in Delhi, has been transferred to the Delhi Police’s IT unit for investigation. The letter, supposedly penned on Sonowal’s official stationery, discusses the Assam situation and proposes corrective measures for the polls.
Sonowal has denied any connection to the letter, labeling it as false and misleading. He emphasized that neither he nor his office issued the document, condemning it as a serious criminal offense involving forgery and impersonation. Sonowal urged law enforcement to swiftly probe the matter and take strict action against those responsible for creating and circulating the forged letter.
The FIR, registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, addresses forgery, impersonation, and dissemination of false information. Authorities are working to trace the letter’s origin, track its digital circulation, and establish accountability. With Assam gearing up for elections, concerns mount over digital misinformation during sensitive political times.
