In the wake of the verdict, AAP members distributed sweets outside the residence of AAP leader Manish Sisodia, celebrating the development.
AAP MP Raghav Chadha shared his excitement on social media platform X, stating, “Welcome back Arvind Kejriwal, we missed you! Truth may be troubled, but it cannot be defeated! In the end, the Honorable Supreme Court has delivered its decision to free Delhi’s son, Arvind Kejriwal, from the chains of prison. Thank you, Honorable Supreme Court!”
Welcome back Arvind Kejriwal, we missed you!
सत्य परेशान हो सकता है मगर पराजित नहीं!
अंततः माननीय सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने दिल्ली के बेटे अरविंद केजरीवाल को जेल की बेड़ियों से आजाद करने का फैसला सुना दिया है।
माननीय Supreme Court का शुक्रिया!

AAP leader Manish Sisodia remarked, “Truth alone triumphs – the power of truth has broken the prison bars of the defeated tyrant.”
सत्यमेव जयते – सत्य की शक्ति से टूटे तानाशाह की जेल के ताले.

He further asserted, “In the fight against lies and conspiracies, truth has once again emerged victorious today. Once again, I pay my respects to the vision and foresight of Baba Saheb Ambedkar, who empowered the common man 75 years ago to stand strong against any future tyrant.”
झूँठ और साज़िशों के ख़िलाफ़ लड़ाई में आज पुनः सत्य की जीत हुई है.
एक बार पुनः नमन करता हूँ बाबा साहेब अंबेडकर जी की सोच और दूरदर्शिता को, जिन्होंने 75 साल पहले ही आम आदमी को किसी भावी तानाशाह के मुक़ाबले मज़बूत कर दिया था. pic.twitter.com/2yJDqz2W6w

Meanwhile, AAP leader Sanjay Singh posted that dictatorship will not prevail in democracy. He noted that while tyrants may bend, they need a fighter to confront them.
Singh highlighted that PM Modi’s oppressive rule failed to break Arvind Kejriwal’s spirit. He further asserted that prison bars have broken, and Arvind Kejriwal is now free.
Singh pointed out that the mountain of lies is collapsing, with the false cases of ED, CBI, and BJP being exposed. He concluded with a strong affirmation, “Truth alone triumphs!”
लोकतंत्र में तानाशाही नही चलेगी-नही चलेगी।
झुकते हैं तानाशाह लड़ने वाला चाहिए।
मोदी की अत्याचारी हुकूमत @ArvindKejriwal के हौसलों को नहीं तोड़ पाई।
जेल के ताले टूट गये @ArvindKejriwal छूट गये।
झूठ का पहाड़ गिर रहा है ED CBI BJP के झूठे केस का पर्दाफ़ाश हो चुका है।
सत्यमेव जयते!— Sanjay Singh AAP (@SanjayAzadSln) September 13, 2024
Justice Kant Upholds CBI Arrest; Justice Bhuyan Criticizes Timing
The Supreme Court’s two-judge bench delivered a concurrent judgment.
Justice Surya Kant dismissed Kejriwal’s plea challenging the legality of his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the alleged liquor scam.
Meanwhile, Justice Ujjal Bhuyan authored a separate opinion, criticizing the timing of the CBI’s arrest and deeming the ‘belated arrest’ unjustified.
This landmark decision has intensified the political discourse, with AAP leaders and supporters rallying behind their leader and continuing their push for justice.
