The Rouse Avenue Court deferred its decision on a petition submitted by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, seeking instructions for Tihar jail officials to administer insulin and permit him to consult doctors via video conferencing daily for 15 minutes due to his severe diabetes and fluctuating blood sugar levels.
Special Judge Kaveri Baweja postponed the ruling until April 22, 2024, and instructed Tihar Jail Authorities to provide a detailed response by the following day. Arguments revealed concerns over Kejriwal’s diet, with his legal team denying allegations of excessive mango consumption and asserting that his meals align with dietary guidelines. Kejriwal’s plea highlighted his discontinued ‘Insulin Reversal Programme’ due to his arrest, emphasizing the need for insulin administration and proper medical care.
Additionally, the plea criticized the Enforcement Directorate’s accusations, alleging a lack of fairness and integrity in their conduct. The ED countered, accusing Kejriwal of intentionally consuming foods harmful to his health to gain sympathy in court. They cited medical staff’s regular monitoring of Kejriwal’s blood sugar levels and requested a comparison of his diet chart with actual meals served in jail since April 2, 2024.
