A top Indian opposition leader has been granted interim bail by the Supreme Court nearly seven weeks after his arrest in a bribery case
India's top court granted interim bail to a top opposition leader Friday who was arrested nearly seven weeks ago, in a bribery case that opposition parties called a political move by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government against his rivals during a national election. Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, or Common Man’s Party, is the top elected official in the city of New Delhi and one of the country’s most consequential politicians of the past decade.
Kejriwal’s deputy, Manish Sisodia, was also arrested in the case earlier, weakening his party’s campaign in national elections. The Enforcement Directorate opposed his bail, saying that releasing Kejriwal to campaign would indicate that there were different judicial standards for politicians and other citizens.
