The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday informed a Delhi Court that AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal is deliberately eating mangoes, sweets, and tea with sugar to increase his blood sugar level. ED informed the court on a hearing of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's application seeking permission to consult his regular doctor in jail through virtual conferencing. AAP National Convenor in his application informed the court that his blood sugar levels are fluctuating and thus, he wants to consult his regular doctor.
However, in response, ED's counsel informed Special Judge Kaveri Baweja that the Delhi Chief Minister is claiming that his sugar levels are high, but he is having mangoes, sweets, and tea with sugar in jail. ED highlighted that Arvind Kejriwal wants to create increase in the sugar levels as a ground for bail in the money laundering case.
Notably, ED acknowledged the alarming increase in Arvind Kejriwal' diabetic level. ED's counsel informed the court, "We wrote to the jail authorities and asked them what is the diet chart and medicines he is taking…. When he was allowed on April 01 home cooked food… please see. He is claiming high diabetes but he is having mangoes, sweets and tea with sugar…. This is a basis to create a ground for bail."
Finally, the court adjourned the hearing asking the Tihar jail authorities to file a medical report on Arvind Kejriwal, including his diet. The case will resume tomorrow.
