The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a plea on the arrest of Congress leader Pawan Khera in the national capital on Thursday. The SC will hear the plea at 3 pm today.

Senior Advocate AM Singhvi mentioned a plea apprising the court about the arrest of Pawan Khera.

Singhvi sought interim relief for Khera and consolidation of FIR since several are being registered across the country.

Congress leader Pawan Khera on Thursday said that he is "ready to fight the long battle" soon after Assam Police arrested him in the national capital. Khera will be presented in a Delhi court and will be taken to Assam on transit remand.

"We will see (in which case they are taking me). It's a long battle and I'm ready to fight," said Khera as Delhi Police took him after he was deplaned from an aircraft at Delhi airport.

The Delhi Police said that a request was received from the Assam Police for assistance in the arrest of accused Pawan Khera in case FIR No. 19/2023, PS Dima Hasao, District Haflong, Assam.

"Based upon the same, requisite local assistance was provided and upon the requisition of Assam Police, accused Shri Pawan Khera was detained from Terminal 1 of IGI Airport and has been subsequently arrested by the IO concerned of Assam Police," a Delhi Police official told ANI.

"Necessary legal action shall follow," they added. It is pertinent to mention that earlier today Pawan Khera was stopped from boarding a plane at Delhi airport after a request was received from the Assam Police to stop him," Delhi Police said on Thursday.
