"Yesterday, it became clear that the allegations were made without any evidence and without any basis, and our leaders were arrested. Yesterday, all this truth came to light in the Supreme Court. This is the loss of BJP's conspiracy and dictatorship," said Rai after the Supreme Court granted bail to AAP MP Sanjay Singh.

Sources said Kejriwal, who has been remanded to judicial custody in the liquor policy case, started Wednesday morning by sweeping his prison cell with a broom at Delhi's Tihar Jail.

According to Tihar sources, Kejriwal is healthy, and jail doctors have not expressed such concerns. Reportedly Aam Aadmi Party sources alleged that Kejriwal had lost a lot of weight since his arrest.

On April 1, a Delhi court remanded the Delhi Chief Minister to 15-day judicial custody in the excise policy case and sent him to Tihar Jail till April 15. The court has permitted him to have home-cooked meals and carry with him the prescribed medications for his diabetes.

The Delhi Chief Minister, who was lodged in Jail Number 2 of the high-security Tihar Jail, was given an isolation room and provided with a table and a chair to keep three books, as per the court's order.
