Hundreds of Congress leaders walked off the plane and protested on the tarmac at Delhi International Airport, shouting slogans and staging a sit-in right next to the plane.
According to reports, an Assam Police team had arrived at the airport to apprehend the leader.
According to IndiGo Airline sources, Mr. Khera was deplaned after being served with a FIR, or First Information Report. They claimed that there was “no impact” on flights.

Pawan Khera stated that he was told the police would meet him. “I was told that there was a problem with my luggage, despite the fact that I only had hand luggage. They said you couldn’t fly. The DCP (Deputy Commissioner of Police) will then meet with you. I’ve been anticipating this moment for quite some time. There is no indication of law and order “He stated.
The Congress claimed that Pawan Khera was detained without a warrant. “This is nothing but a rattled government and its high-handedness,” Supriya Srinate of the Congress said.
The BJP has demanded Mr Khera’s arrest on charges of insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After a BJP leader filed a police complaint, a FIR was filed.
