Arvind Kejriwal gets bail

Earlier today, a two-bench judge of the Supreme Court consisting of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Dutta granted interim bail to Arvind Kejriwal in the purported money laundering case linked against him linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy case.

Hours later, Kejriwal walked out of the Tihar Jail accompanied by accompanied by his wife Sunita Kejriwal and daughter Harshita, alongwith senior AAP leaders including Bhagwant Mann, Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj and Sandeep Pathak.

The Delhi Chief Minister has been granted interim relief for 21 days, till June 1, and asked to surrender on June 2.

Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21 in connection with a purported money laundering probe relating to alleged irregularities in the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy 2021-22.

On Tuesday, the bench had hinted interim bail to Kejriwal to enable him to campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha election. The ED had opposed his bail, arguing that there can’t be any deviation only because Kejriwal is Chief Minister and asked if the Supreme Court is carving out exceptions for politicians.
