AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has lodged a police complaint against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of inciting religious enmity through a now-deleted video. The video allegedly showed Sarma firing a rifle at two individuals.

Owaisi claims the video, initially shared by the Assam BJP on social media platform 'X' and subsequently removed, featured a caption suggesting a ''point-blank shot.''

Owaisi, the Hyderabad MP, argued that the video constitutes ''deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage the religious feelings'' of Muslims and potentially endangers national integration.
