Guwahati, Dec 13: The investigation into Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi and his wife’s alleged links with Pakistan will be handed over to a central agency, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday, asserting that the complexity of the case makes it beyond the scope of a state-level probe.

“In a case where so much complexity is involved, it will not be possible only for the Assam SIT to investigate and unearth all aspects. The matter will, however, go to the central agency for further investigation,” Sarma said while speaking to the press on the sidelines of a programme.

The Chief Minister said the decision would follow the conclusion of the Special Investigation Team’s (SIT) work in the Zubeen Garg death case, in which a charge sheet has already been filed on December 12.
