CBI must dispel notion of 'caged parrot': SC

AAP demands apology from BJP for keeping 'staunchly honest' leader in jail while the BJP seeks CM's immediate resignation

The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in CBI's corruption case related to excise policy scam, saying the prolonged incarceration amounts to "unjust deprivation of liberty".

Kejriwal, who was arrested on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and later by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), came out after spending 155 days in Tihar jail on the evening hours following completion of procedural formalities in a Delhi court here.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan granted the relief to Kejriwal on furnishing a bail bond of Rs 10 lakh and two sureties of like amount.
