“Kejriwal Eating Sweets, Mangoes in Jail Despite Diabetes for Bail”, ED Tells Court

New Delhi: Opposing jailed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s bail plea on medical grounds, ED claimed before a Delhi court on Thursday that he is eating food high in sugar like mangoes and sweets every day despite having Type 2 diabetes to create grounds for medical bail.

“Arvind Kejriwal is eating high sugar content food despite having type 2 diabetes. He is consuming ‘aloo poori’, mango, sweets, daily. This is being done to make grounds for medical bail,” ED told the court.

Following this claim by the ED, the special judge for CBI and ED cases, Kaveri Baweja directed the Tihar jail authorities to file a report in the matter, including Kejriwal’s diet chart.

The judge directed the authorities concerned to file the report by Friday.

Kejriwal has moved the court seeking permission to consult his regular doctor via video conference because of fluctuating sugar levels.
