Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was released from Tihar Jail after the Supreme Court granted him bail in a CBI case related to an excise policy scam. The court stressed the need for the CBI to be impartial and criticized its image as a “caged parrot.” Kejriwal’s release was met with support from the Aam Aadmi Party and followers.
The Supreme Court today granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, citing “prolonged incarceration constitutes an unjust deprivation of liberty.” His arrest by the CBI in the liquor excise policy case led to restrictions, despite being granted bail in a separate case. The court criticized keeping him in custody without a trial as a “travesty of justice.”
