Results for: Tihar Jail

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders staged a protest outside the Tihar jail in Delhi on Sunday, alleging that there is a conspiracy to kill Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal in jail by denying him access to insulin. The party leaders, carrying insulin, chanted slogans of ‘Kejriwal ko insulin do’ (Give insulin to Kejriwal). AAP has claimed that Kejriwal had been on an “insulin reversal programme” since February, but after he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Delhi excise policy case on March 21, he has not been able to continue with the programme and needs to be administered insulin again.

A Delhi court has denied Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s request for daily 15-minute video consultations with his doctor. However, the court has ordered the formation of a medical panel to determine if Kejriwal, who has Type 2 diabetes, needs regular insulin injections. The panel will also provide diet and exercise recommendations. Meanwhile, Kejriwal can continue to have home-cooked meals as long as they follow court guidelines. Jail officials must submit health reports every 15 days. The court has also instructed officials to ensure proper medical care, including treatment from diabetologists or endocrinologists.
