‘First Morning Tea of Independence’: Manish Sisodia Day After Release From Jail

Manish Sisodia, a senior AAP leader, shared a photograph of himself enjoying morning tea with his wife just a day after his bail release from Tihar Jail. He captioned the image as the "first tea of an independent morning... after 17 months."

Sisodia on Saturday shared a morning selfie with his wife holding a cup of tea. "First morning tea of ​​independence…..after 17 months! The freedom that the Constitution has given to all of us Indians as a guarantee of the right to live. The freedom that God has given us to breathe in the open air with everyone", said on X post.

आज़ादी की सुबह की पहली चाय….. 17 महीने बाद!

वह आज़ादी जो संविधान ने हम सब भारतीयों को जीने के अधिकार की गारंटी के रूप में दी है।

वह आज़ादी जो ईश्वर ने हमें सबके साथ खुली हवा में साँस लेने के लिए दी है। pic.twitter.com/rPxmlI0SWF

This is Manish Sisodia's first post on X since the Supreme Court granted him bail on Friday, following a stern reprimand of the lower courts for depriving him of his right to a speedy trial due to prolonged incarceration without trial.

The Supreme Court granted bail to Manish Sisodia on Friday in connection with the excise policy irregularities cases. The decision was made by a bench of Justices B.R. Gavai and K.V. Viswanathan. The court's order includes conditions such as surrendering his passport and refraining from influencing witnesses.

In February 2023, Sisodia was arrested by the CBI for alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of now-scrapped Delhi's new excise policy.
