Manish Sisodia Leaves Jail 17 Months After His Arrest In Liquor Policy Case

Mr Sisodia's release means that of the three high-profile AAP leaders arrested in the liquor policy case only Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal remains in jail; MP Sanjay Singh got bail in April after six months in jail.

AAP leader Manish Sisodia was released from Delhi's Tihar Jail Friday evening - even as the dark clouds hovering over the national capital all day broke to shed much-needed rain - hours after the Supreme Court granted the ex-Deputy Chief Minister bail in the alleged liquor policy scam.

Mr Sisodia - who held multiple portfolios while a member of the Delhi government, including Education - was received by a large crowd of jubilant Aam Aadmi Party supporters.

Standing in the rain, a triumphant Manish Sisodia gave a short speech.
