Pawan Khera moves Supreme Court after Gauhati HC denies anticipatory bail

Congress leader Pawan Khera has approached the Supreme Court challenging the Gauhati High Court's refusal to grant him anticipatory bail in a case filed by Assam Police over alleged remarks against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's wife. Khera's plea was filed after the Gauhati High Court declined to grant pre-arrest bail, holding that he does not deserve the privilege of anticipatory bail. The case involves alleged serious offences such as cheating and forgery.
