Assam CM Explains Reasons for Potential NIA Probe of Gogoi Wife
The Chief Minister of Assam wants the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to take over the investigation into possible connections between a Congress MP's wife and a Pakistani group.
He said the local police team can't look into phone calls from more than two years ago.
The Chief Minister had earlier filed a case against a Pakistani person connected to the MP's wife, and has said his wife will be probed.
