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.
