Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and senior Aam Aadmi Party leaders, including Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh, received Jain, who was in the jail for around two years

Sisodia hugged him as his party colleague walked out of the jail

Hundreds of AAP workers gathered outside the Tihar Jail to celebrate the release of the former health minister

He was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on May 30, 2022, on the charge of laundering money through four companies allegedly linked to him

Earlier in the day, the Rouse Avenue court here granted bail to Jain, citing "delay in trial" and his "long incarceration"

The Aam Aadmi Party hailed the court verdict, describing it as a victory of truth and the defeat of another BJP "conspiracy"

The ED case stems from an FIR lodged against Jain by the Central Bureau of Investigation in 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act

After being released on bail, Satyendar Jain took a dig at the BJP and said in a lighter vein that now CM Atishi will also have to go to jail as the rest other leaders have come out

"Arvind Kejriwal does work for the common public. He used to say that the path of politics is difficult and you'll have to face the consequences (Aag ka dariya hai aur doob ke jana hai). Atishi ji you will also have to go to jail. In July 2013, I got a ticket from the AAP and they arrested me that time also. So do not be scare. Keep supporting the Aam Aadmi Party, we will continue to fight against injustice," he said
