Pawan Khera moves Supreme Court against denial of anticipatory bail

Congress leader Pawan Khera has moved the Supreme Court of India, challenging the Gauhati High Court's rejection of his anticipatory bail plea in a FIR registered over alleged remarks about Assam Chief Minister's wife. The High Court rejected the bail petition, citing the need for custodial interrogation to uncover the source of the accusations. The High Court declined to accept Khera's contention that his comments were mere political rhetoric.
