Sanjay Raut's release was also cleared by the Bombay High Court, which refused to put the bail on hold as requested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut was released from jail on Wednesday, hours after he was granted bail by a court in an alleged money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that was sharply rebuked for arresting the politician for "no reason".
He emerged from the Arthur Road Jail in central Mumbai to a huge welcome from members of the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena, waving a saffron scarf.
Mr Raut's release was also cleared by the Bombay High Court, which refused to put the bail on hold as requested by the central agency tasked with probing financial crimes.
Stating that it cannot pass such an order without hearing both the parties, the high court listed the matter for hearing on Thursday.
