New Delhi: A Delhi court on Tuesday ordered forthwith release of Arvind Kejriwal from Tihar Jail after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader furnished the bail bond in a criminal defamation complaint filed against him by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nitin Gadkari, changing his earlier stand against it.
Metropolitan Magistrate Gomati Manocha accepted the personal bond filed by Kejriwal’s counsel in compliance with the order passed by the Delhi high court.
