Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written to the Tihar Superintendent, claiming a need for daily insulin and accusing the jail administration of dismissing his health concerns. According to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) sources, Kejriwal alleges the jail’s statement that AIIMS doctors have ruled out health worries is false. He asserts that he requires insulin injections due to high blood sugar levels, ranging from 250 to 320 thrice a day. The Tihar administration has not yet commented on these allegations.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s request for daily video consultations with his doctor was rejected by a special court. Instead, a medical board from AIIMS will determine if he requires insulin. Despite his diabetic condition, the court allowed Kejriwal to receive home-cooked food that adheres to his prescribed diet. However, the jail authorities were reprimanded for permitting food items that deviated from the diet, including mangoes and sweets. The ED alleged that Kejriwal intentionally consumed these items to justify a bail request.
