India's top court grants bail to opposition leader Kejriwal

NEW DELHI, Sept 13 (Reuters): India's Supreme Court granted bail on Friday to opposition leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a graft case, paving the way for his release almost six months after he was arrested.
Kejriwal's release is expected to boost the morale of his decade-old Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) as it will allow him to campaign in regional elections next month in the northern state of Haryana, where AAP is trying to make inroads, and in Delhi early next year. Kejriwal was first taken into custody in March by India's financial crime-fighting agency.
