Kejriwal, who had been embroiled in the controversy surrounding the alleged irregularities in the city’s now-scrapped liquor policy, expressed his gratitude to the court and reaffirmed his commitment to fighting for the truth. Hundreds of AAP supporters gathered outside the jail, chanting slogans in support of their leader, who has been a pivotal figure in the anti-corruption movement and the party’s rise to power in the national capital.In a statement following his release, Kejriwal called the case a politically motivated attempt to malign the image of the AAP government, which has been known for its focus on governance reforms and social welfare programs.

Our focus remains on serving the people of Delhi,” he said.The next hearing in the case is expected to take place in the coming weeks.
