On Friday morning Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal and his right-hand man, Manish Sisodia, were cleared of corruption and conspiracy charges linked to the Delhi liquor excise policy case. "There was no overarching conspiracy or criminal intent in the policy," the court said, also criticising the Central Bureau of Investigation for trying to build a 'case' on the back of claims by other suspects. Outside the court Kejriwal broke down and cried on camera, remembering his arrest in March 2024. "I always used to say that the truth is with us. A sitting Chief Minister was dragged out of his home and thrown into jail. Mud was flung at us," he told reporters.
