Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today returned to Tihar jail after his interim bail in a corruption case linked to the Delhi liquor policy case ended on June 1.
Mr Kejriwal had been granted interim bail by the Supreme Court to campaign for the Lok Sabha elections and was asked to surrender a day after the last leg of polling.
Before surrendering at the jail, he paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi at the Raj Ghat, offered prayers at the Hanuman temple in Connaught Place, and addressed AAP leaders and workers at the party office.
"I was given a 21-day (relief) by the Supreme Court. These 21 days were unforgettable. I did not waste even a minute. I campaigned to save the country. The AAP is not important, it is secondary. The country comes first," he said in his address.
He has filed a petition for bail at a Delhi court, which will be heard on June 5.
