Jailed Delhi CM Kejriwal Given Insulin as Sugar Level Spikes to 320

New Delhi: Jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was administered insulin at Tihar jail on Monday night when his blood sugar level increased to an alarming level of 320. The normal sugar level should be between 70 and 100.

The AAP chief, who is a diabetic, slammed the Tihar jail authorities for allegedly failing to provide him with insulin despite his repeated requests.

But the Tihar jail administration claimed that during a video consultation with specialists from AIIMS, neither the issue of insulin nor its necessity was raised.

“Today it is clear that the Chief Minister was right, he needed insulin. But the officials under the BJP’s central government were deliberately not treating him. Tell me BJP people! If insulin is not needed then why are you giving it now? Because the whole world is cursing them,” Delhi Minister and AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said in a statement.

The AAP has alleged that the Tihar administration withheld insulin from Kejriwal, alleging a conspiracy to harm him.

Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the ED in connection with a money-laundering case linked to the Delhi government’s now-scrapped excise policy case. He is in the Tihar jail since April 1.
