After being granted bail by the Supreme Court in the Delhi excise policy case, AAP leader Sanjay Singh leaves jail one day later.

An enormous group of AAP supporters had assembled outside Tihar Jail, where Singh had been detained since October of last year following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for possible money laundering related to anomalies in the since-canceled Delhi tax policy.

Singh was ordered not to tamper with the evidence or influence witnesses in the case earlier in the day by a Delhi court. Singh was also ordered by Special Judge Kaveri Baweja to turn in his passport, notify it of his destination before departing the National Capital Region, and always have his phone's location on.

The AAP Rajya Sabha MP was granted bail by the highest court panel after the ED stated it had no concerns. Judges Sanjiv Khanna, Dipankar Datta, and P B Varale made up the bench that declared that although the AAP leader may carry on with his political activities, he was not permitted to comment on the case.

"During the morning meeting, ASG SV Raju was requested to gather guidelines. He said they have no issues with Sanjay Singh being released on bail in the FIR proceedings.The bench observed, "Given the statement, we grant the current appeal and order Sanjay Singh's release on bail pending the outcome of the trial, subject to the parameters established by the trial court."

The AAP, whose key officials, including party convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Satyendar Jain, are in judicial detention, has been given a reprieve by the bail granted to Singh. The leaders of the AAP have stated that the court order "exposed" the fact that the testimonies "extorted" from witnesses and approvers formed the basis of the entire liquor fraud case.
