Mr. Sisodia got bail…
On Saturday, 10 August 2024, AAP leader and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at the Rajghat Memorial.
It is a day after he was released from jail in the Delhi liquor policy case.
He reached the memorial after offering prayers at the Hanuman temple in Connaught Place, Delhi.
Mr. Sisodia was accompanied by several Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, including MP Sanjay Singh and ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj.
On Friday, the Supreme Court gave Mr. Sisodia bail in corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged liquor policy "scam" and said his long incarceration of 17 months without trial had deprived him of the right to speedy justice.
After visiting the temple, Mr. Sisodia said, "May Lord Hanuman bless all the people of Delhi".
He hoped that with the blessing of Lord Hanuman, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, who is in jail in the case, will also be released very soon now.
Mr. Sisodia will visit the AAP headquarters on the DDU Marg around noon to address party workers and leaders.
After walking out of the Tihar jail on Friday evening, Mr. Sisodia said he got bail due to the power of the Constitution.
He asserted that the same power would ensure the release of Mr. Kejriwal also.
