Manish Sisodia, a senior AAP leader, walked out of Tihar Jail after 17 months in custody. The Supreme Court granted him bail in the Delhi excise policy scam cases. Supporters and party workers gathered to welcome him with slogans. Sisodia said, "I was not alone in jail for the past 17 months; every Delhiite and schoolchild was with me emotionally." He expressed gratitude to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and thanked the Supreme Court for upholding the Constitution. The court reaffirmed that "bail is a rule, and jail is an exception," calling his detention unjust.
