Earlier, the Supreme Court ordered his release on interim bail in the excise policy case until June 1. A bench presided over by Justice Sanjiv Khanna ruled that the AAP supremo must surrender on June 2. The bench also included the Justice Dipankar Datta.

On the other hand, ED opposed the grant of interim bail to Kejriwal and claimed that a politician has no special status above that of an ordinary person and is just as likely to be arrested.
