Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was released from Tihar Jail last night after securing bail in the ongoing liquor policy case. The release was marked by celebrations from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders and supporters, who set off fireworks to welcome Kejriwal. However, in accordance with Delhi’s ban on fireworks, the police have filed a case against those involved in the celebrations.
Kejriwal had previously been granted bail by the Supreme Court in the liquor policy case, following earlier bail granted in an Enforcement Directorate (ED) case. The most recent bail in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case facilitated his release from jail. After his release, AAP activists celebrated at Kejriwal’s residence and several other locations in Delhi, resulting in the police filing a case under the BNS Act against the individuals responsible.
The Delhi government had announced a ban on the manufacture and sale of fireworks on Monday, aimed at controlling pollution levels in the city. This ban will remain in effect until January 1 of the following year and also applies to online sales and deliveries
