The Supreme Court of India has granted interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Despite the bail, Kejriwal will remain in jail due to ongoing legal proceedings in a related CBI case. The court set conditions for the bail, including prohibiting Kejriwal from visiting the Chief Minister's office or signing official files, and requiring a bail bond of Rs 50,000. Kejriwal has been incarcerated for over 90 days. The ruling has sparked reactions from various political entities, with the BJP demanding Kejriwal's resignation and AAP accusing the central government of a political witch-hunt.
