Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of New Delhi and leader of the Aam Aadmi Party, has been granted bail by a court in the capital after being arrested in a bribery case in March. The arrest occurred just weeks before India's national election, where Kejriwal was a challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Modi secured a third consecutive term in June, despite his party losing its majority. Kejriwal's bail was reported by news website Live Law on Thursday, with expectations that he will be released once the bail bond is paid.
