New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday surrendered at the Tihar Jail here after his interim bail granted by the Supreme Court in the excise policy-linked money laundering case ended on June 1.
He was granted the relief for campaigning in the Lok Sabha elections.
Before surrendering, Kejriwal paid homage at 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.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said he was going back to jail not because he was involved in corruption but as he had raised voice against "dictatorship".
Kejriwal was released from jail on May 10 on interim bail granted by the Supreme Court in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam to campaign in the Lok Sabha polls.
The bail expired on June 1, the day when the seventh and last phase of the general elections was held.
