Congress leader and MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira was arrested by Punjab police on Thursday morning in connection with an old case registered against him under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The arrest followed a raid conducted by the police at his Chandigarh residence at approximately 6:30 a.m., led by SP Manjeet Singh and DSP AR Sharma.


During the raid, Khaira went live on Facebook, engaging in a heated argument with the police and requesting a warrant for his arrest. The police informed him that he was being arrested based on an old NDPS case, as recommended by an SIT led by a DIG rank officer and two SSPs. However, Khaira claimed that the case had already been quashed by the Supreme Court.
