AAP MLA Durgesh Pathak was granted bail by the Rouse Avenue Court on Wednesday in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. Pathak appeared before the court following a summons and was granted bail after submitting a bond of ₹1 lakh.
Earlier, on August 12, the court gave the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) the go-ahead to prosecute Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Durgesh Pathak over a corruption case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy for 2021-22.
Kejriwal’s judicial custody has been extended until September 25, and he, along with other accused held in custody, appeared via video conference from Tihar Jail. Pathak, a senior figure within AAP’s political affairs committee, is known to be closely associated with Kejriwal.
