Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was granted bail after spending six months in jail in connection with the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam. The Supreme Court granted him interim bail with several strict conditions. While Kejriwal can now leave prison, he is prohibited from visiting the Chief Minister’s Office or the Delhi Secretariat and is not allowed to sign any official files without prior clearance from the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi.
