The AAP supremo thanked all those who had arrived to welcome him braving the rain.
"Will continue fighting anti-national forces working to weaken our country," he said.
Kejriwal left the jail premises in a car along with his security convoy.
The AAP chief was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on June 26. He has challenged in the apex court the Delhi High Court's August 5 order that upheld his arrest in the corruption case.
The apex court granted Kejriwal interim bail in the money-laundering case on July 12.
Laying down the conditions of his bail, the court said the chief minister cannot go to his office or Delhi secretariat or sign official files.
Kejriwal's release from jail, ahead of the upcoming Haryana and Delhi elections, is set to boost the AAP's prospects. The Haryana polls are scheduled for October 1.
