Kejriwal is in judicial custody till June 6 after he refused to furnish a personal bond in a defamation case filed by Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nitin Gadkari.

He refused to pay the bail bond of Rs 10,000 and was sent to the Tihar Central Jail.

Kejriwal's actions sparked huge protests outside Tihar jail where his supporters protested against his arrest. Meanwhile this also attracted huge criticism from political parties who said that Kejriwal should have furnished the bond instead of opting for jail.
