The AAP leader had alleged that the Assam government had given contracts to the Chief Minister`s wife`s firms and son`s business partner to supply PPE kits above market rates during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma s wife Riniki Bhuyan Sarma on Tuesday filed a Rs 100 crore civil defamation suit against Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in Civil Judge Court, Kamrup (Metro), Guwahati.
The move comes after Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had threatened Sisodia on Twitter after the latter accused him of corruption in the procurement of PPE kits in 2020.
