The two leaders were intently focused on a laptop screen, closely following the proceedings of the Supreme Court hearing. As soon as the bail ruling was announced, Sisodia and Atishi erupted in joy, their faces breaking into wide smiles.They embraced each other, sharing a hug to mark the happy moment.
AAP posted the video on their social media handles with the caption, “The Moment When CM Arvind Kejriwal Got Bail From Supreme Court -AAP Family.”
Manish Sisodia, the former deputy chief minister who recently secured bail from the Supreme Court in both the ED and CBI excise policy cases, also took to X to express his thoughts. “Today truth won again in the fight against lies and conspiracies. I once again pay my tribute to the thinking and foresight of Baba Saheb Ambedkar ji, who 75 years ago had strengthened the common man against any future dictator,” he wrote.
Delhi Minister Atishi also shared her sentiments on X, stating, “Satyamev Jayate. Truth can be troubled, not defeated.”
The apex court’s ruling was also hailed by the party who shared a video with old footage of Kejriwal saying, “he is back”.
Kejriwal was arrested by ED on March 21, 2024, as part of a money laundering investigation linked to alleged irregularities in the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy for 2021-22. While still in ED custody, Kejriwal was subsequently arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on June 26, 2024, in connection with the same excise case.
