Manish Sisodia, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party and former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, walked out of jail on Friday, 17 months after being arrested, after the Supreme Court granted him bail on the same day.
Sisodia was arrested for his alleged involvement in corruption and money laundering cases involving the controversial Delhi excise policy scam.
Outside the jail, party members and supporters chanted “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Inquilab Zindabad” as Sisodia exited the facility.
Sisodia, who was joined by fellow party members Atishi Marlena and Sanjay Singh, started his speech by saying, “I have come out because of your love and God’s grace.” He said, “Dictators can put us in jail, but Baba Saheb’s Constitution will save us.”
He added, “Ever since this order came in the morning, every inch of my skin has been feeling indebted to Babasaheb. I don’t understand how will pay off this debt to Babasaheb.”
