New Delhi: A New Delhi court on Wednesday granted bail to Aam Aadmi Party's leader Dinesh Mohaniya, who was arrested on the charge of sexual harassment.

On Tuesday, Mohaniya's bail plea was dismissed by the Saket court and he was remanded in judicial custody till July 11.

In his bail plea, Mohaniya said that he is a sitting legislator and has a family to take care of. He also assured the court that he would not flee from justice.
