NDTV
Jail authorities have said Arvind Kejriwal's blood pressure, blood sugar and weight are being regularly monitored and he is being provided adequate treatment for all ailments
The Tihar jail administration and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are locked in a heated exchange over the health condition of Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal. While AAP leaders have claimed that Mr Kejriwal is rapidly losing weight and his health is declining in prison, jail authorities have alleged such a narrative aims to browbeat the prison administration.
Responding to AAP leaders' charge that Mr Kejriwal has lost 8.5 kg since he went to prison and that there is a conspiracy to kill him behind bars, the Tihar jail administration has put out a detailed update on the Chief Minister's health status.
Mr Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate in a corruption case linked to Delhi's now-scrapped liquor policy. He was out on bail briefly to campaign for the Lok Sabha election and then returned to Tihar jail.
