India’s top court grants interim bail to Arvind Kejriwal
The Supreme Court granted interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy case. The court referred his petition challenging the ED arrest to a larger bench. Kejriwal’s lawyers called it a significant victory. The court noted Kejriwal’s 90-day incarceration and his status as an elected leader. However, he remains in custody due to a pending CBI case. Kejriwal had appealed against his arrest, claiming political vendetta, but the High Court previously dismissed his plea. ANI
