Manish Sisodia walks out of jail 17 months after arrest, chants 'Inquilab Zindabad' (WATCH)
" Aazadi ki subah ki pehli chai ...17 mahine baad! (First tea on the morning of independence ... after 17 months!"), Sisodia wrote on X.
"The freedom that the Constitution has given to all of us Indians as a guarantee of the right to life. The freedom that God has given us to breathe in the open air with everyone," he added.
The Supreme Court has granted bail to Manish Sisodia, former Delhi deputy chief minister, while reprimanding lower courts for denying him speedy justice through prolonged incarceration without trial. The court ruled that delayed trials and extended detention constitute valid grounds for granting bail in money laundering cases, despite strict conditions outlined in the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Sisodia's arrest by the CBI on February 26, 2023, and subsequent arrest by the Enforcement Directorate on March 9, 2023, stemmed from alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy for 2021-22 and related money laundering investigations, leading to his resignation from the Delhi cabinet on February 28, 2023.
