Arvind Kejriwal Bail Highlights: The Supreme Court granted bail to AAP chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a graft case on Friday, facilitating his release nearly six months after his arrest.
Kejriwal was initially taken into custody in March by India’s financial crime-fighting agency, just weeks before the national elections, due to alleged irregularities in the capital city’s liquor policy.
Although he was granted interim bail in that case in July, he remained in detention due to his arrest, few days before the SC order, by the federal police in a graft case related to the same policy.
Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) deny the allegations and say the cases are “politically motivated”.
