AAP workers celebrated Kejriwal's bail by distributing sweets as he walked out of Tihar Jail after nearly a month and a half. The Supreme Court granted Kejriwal interim bail until June 1, with conditions including a prohibition on visiting the Office of the Chief Minister or the Delhi Secretariat. The court ordered Kejriwal to surrender on June 2, imposed restrictions on his interactions with witnesses and official files related to the case, and barred him from making public comments on the ongoing legal proceedings unless necessary for obtaining clearance from the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi.
