Relief was received from the Supreme Court on May 10
Giving a big relief to Kejriwal, the Supreme Court on Friday granted him interim bail till June 1 in a money laundering case. It is noteworthy that after getting interim bail from the Supreme Court, Arvind Kejriwal’s lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi requested the court to grant interim bail to the Delhi Chief Minister till June 5, a day after the counting of votes on June 4. The Supreme Court had refused this. Voting for the seventh and final phase of Lok Sabha elections will be held on June 1. Counting of votes will take place on June 4.
back to jail after 20 days
Earlier, during a road show here, Kejriwal said that he has to go back to jail after 20 days. If you choose the broom (the election symbol of ‘AAP’), I will not have to go back to jail. Kejriwal, along with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, held a road show in Moti Nagar in support of the party’s New Delhi Lok Sabha seat candidate Somnath Bharti. Kejriwal said that they sent me to jail because I worked for you. BJP does not want the work of the people of Delhi to be done.
