Kejriwal's arrest: AAP challenges order, activists continue protest

May 22, 2014 10:05

The Aam Aadmi Party will challenge the Patiala House Court order on its convenor Arvind Kejriwal's arrest after refusing to pay the bail bond in the Nitin Gadkari defamation case. The case is set to come up for hearing in the Patiala House Court on Friday.

Meanwhile, Manish Sisodia, who was among the AAP protesters taken into custody last night, was reportedly freed this morning as he had to attend his father's funeral.

Prohibitory orders continue to be in place outside Tihar jail. AAP activists have planned more protests today.

Kejriwal, 45, was first sent to a lock-up in the court complex before being taken in a police van to the Tihar Central Jail, where a large number of Aam Aadmi Party workers promptly staged a noisy protest.
