NEW DELHI, May 10, 2024 (TBINN)
Embattled Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal walked out of the Tihar Jail today evening, hours after Supreme Court granted him interim bail in a Money Laundering Case to enable him campaign in Lok Sabha elections, in a huge relief to his party struggling to gain momentum in the absence of its foremost leader.
The court, however, barred him from visiting his office or Delhi Secretariat and signing official files unless absolutely necessary for obtaining the Lieutenant Governor’s approval.
Setting him free for 21 days to hit the hustings for remaining phases of Lok Sabha elections after 50 days of custody in the Money Laundering Case linked to the alleged Delhi Excise Scam, the court said he shall surrender on June 2, 2024, a day after the last phase of seven-phase poll gets over.
The fourth phase of polling will be held on May 13 2024.
Arvind Kejriwal, aged 55, thanked Supreme Court judges for granting him interim bail and the people for their blessings.
“We have to save the country from dictatorship, I will fight with all my might but need the support of 140 crore people,” Arvind Kejriwal told the media after stepping out of Tihar Jail in round neck T-shirt and trousers.
