Arvind Kejriwal won't walk out of jail despite interim bail in liquor policy case. Here's why

New Delhi/IBNS: In a partial relief, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was granted an interim bail by the Supreme Court in the liquor policy case on Friday.

Certain issues including his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate have been directed to a larger bench.

However, Kejriwal won't walk out of jail immediately as the interim bail pertains to the senior politician's ED arrest.

The Aam Aadmi Party supremo was also arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) related to the case. He is still under arrest by the CBI.

On March 21, 2024, Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate over money laundering allegations while framing the Delhi liquor policy for 2021-22, which was later scrapped after the Lieutenant Governor raised red flags.

The ED has alleged the money Kejriwal got from the liquor sellers was used to fund the party's campaign in Goa since he is the convenor of the AAP.

Kejriwal and the AAP have throughout maintained the Centre has been misusing its agencies to harass the Opposition with false cases.

Kejriwal was given an interim bail in May for a brief period until June 2, 2024 for campaigning in the Lok Sabha polls.

He went back to the jail on June 2, 2024 the day next to the last phase poll date.
