NEW DELHI: India´s Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to a top opposition politician who was detained last year over a long-running corruption probe.
Manish Sisodia, 52, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, is among several leaders of the opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) who have been accused of receiving kickbacks while handing out liquor permits.
The party´s boss, and the capital´s chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, has been in prison over the same charges since March, save for a brief period when he was released to campaign during national elections.
Both have denied the charges as a “political conspiracy” by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party.
