Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was welcomed with dhol beats and slogans by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers as he reached his residence in the Civil Lines area, after being released on bail.

The AAP national convenor was granted interim bail till June 1 by the Supreme Court earlier on Friday in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam. He will have to surrender and go back to prison on June 2.

As flower blowers showered him with petals, Kejriwal thanked Lord Hanuman and promised to "fight to save democracy." 

The chief minister sought the blessings of his parents and hugged them. His mother garlanded him and applied 'tilak' on his forehead.

Speaking to reporters outside his residence, Kejriwal announced that he would participate in a roadshow likely to be held on Saturday in South Delhi's Mehrauli area.
