Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal said he will surrender before authorities at 3 pm on Sunday in the liquor excise policy-linked money laundering case. Kejriwal was given interim bail on the orders of the Supreme Court on May 10 and was ordered to surrender on June 2.
"I came out for election campaigning for 21 days on the orders of the Supreme Court. I am very grateful to the Supreme Court. Today I will surrender by going to Tihar. I will leave my home at 3 pm. First I will go to Rajghat and pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi. From there, I will go to the Hanuman temple in Connaught Place to seek the blessings of Lord Hanuman. After that, I will go to the party office and meet all the workers and party leaders. From there, I will again leave for Tihar," he said in a post on X, adding that he would be happy in prison if people were happy.
This comes as a court in Delhi has reserved its decision on an application for interim bail filed by Kejriwal. Special Judge Kaveri Baweja reserved the order, observing that the application was for grant of interim bail on medical grounds and not for the extension of the interim bail granted by the Supreme Court. Kejriwal's interim relief granted by the apex court ends on June 1.
