Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Member of Parliament (MP) Sanjay Singh on Wednesday walked out of Tihar jail after spending 6 months in connection with Delhi’s excise policy case.

The AAP leader after coming out of jail said it was not a time to celebrate but to struggle as scores of party workers gathered to greet him. He was released in the evening today after the Supreme Court granted bail in the Delhi excise policy case on Tuesday. 

Notably, Singh was lodged in a high-security prison in the national capital from October 13, 2023.

“This is time for struggle. Arvind Kejriwal zindabad. Our jailed leaders will also come out soon. This is not a time for celebration but time for struggle. Jail ke taale tutenge, hamare saare neta chhutenge (Jail locks will break and all our leaders will come out),” Singh was quoted as saying by PTI. 

On Singh’s bail, Delhi Minister Atishi said, “Truth has triumphed. For the last two years, they have been investigating this fake liquor policy case. ED conducted several raids but still, they could not find corruption money from AAP leaders…”

Meeting with CM’s wife 

After his release, Sanjay Singh left for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence to meet his wife Sunita.

“Sanjay Singh will come here to meet Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal. He will then go to the party office & address the party workers.” AAP leader and Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said to the media. 

Earlier, Singh was admitted to the ILBS Hospital in Vasant Kunj. Around 1.30 pm, after being discharged from the hospital, he was taken back to Tihar jail for completing the bail formalities.

Meanwhile, other AAP leaders including CM Arvind Kejriwal, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and former minister Satyendar Jain, are still in jail.
