INDIA’S Supreme Court granted interim bail to a top opposition leader on Friday who was arrested nearly seven weeks ago in a bribery case.

Opposition parties labelled the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal a political move by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s right-wing government during a national election.

Mr Kejriwal, leader of the Aam Aadmi (Common Man’s) Party, is the chief elected official in the city of New Delhi.
