Kejriwal released after cajoled by court to furnish Rs 10,000 bail bond

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal who taken into custody after he, on principle, refused to pay Rs 10,000 bail in Nitin Gadkari’s defamation case against him, was released today after he furnished the bail bond, reported IANS.

Kejriwal paid bail after he was told by the court not to make it a “prestige issue”. AAP party leader and advocate Prashant Bhushan had vowed to approach a higher court if Kejriwal was not released on Friday.

"Everything can't be an exception for this man," the bench remarked, according to the report.
