AAP MP Sanjay Singh and Atishi joined Sisodia for the visit to Kejriwal’s house, and it was a touching incident when Kejriwal and others embraced him. He apologized to Kejriwal’s parents by utteringnamese prostration towards them: it showed respect and appreciate.

For every legal and political drama, Sisodia’s release can be perceived as a landmark in the Delhi excise policy.
