Aam Aadmi Party alleges Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was denied insulin in Tihar jail, pushing him towards "slow death."
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on April 20 alleged that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is being pushed towards a “slow death” inside Tihar jail by denying him insulin and consultations with his doctor.
Mr. Kejriwal, who has Type-2 diabetes, has been asking for insulin and a video conferencing with his family doctor but his requests are being denied by the jail administration, party spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said in a press conference.
"I want to say with full responsibility that a conspiracy is underway for the slow death of Kejriwal," Mr. Bharadwaj claimed citing blood sugar readings of the Chief Minister in jail.
He also slammed the Tihar administration, the BJP, the Centre and Delhi L-G for allegedly denying insulin to Mr. Kejriwal and said the Delhi Chief Minister had been suffering from diabetes for the last 20-22 years.
On April 19, the Chief Minister council senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi said Mr. Kejriwal has not been administered insulin to control his sugar levels since his arrest, terming it “shocking” and “alarming”.
The ED had on April 18 claimed before the court that Mr. Kejriwal was eating food high in sugar like mangoes and sweets every day, despite having Type-2 diabetes, to create grounds for medical bail.
Mr. Kejriwal, however, refuted the ED’s claims by asserting before a court that the food he consumed was in conformity with the diet chart prepared by his doctor.
