Aam Aadmi Party national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on April 19 told a Delhi court that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was being “petty” and accused the agency of “politicising” what he ate in prison. Mr. Kejriwal’s statements came a day after the federal agency claimed that the Delhi CM, who is currently lodged in Tihar Jail, is eating foods high in sugar despite having Type 2 diabetes, to raise his blood sugar level and create grounds for medical bail.
The Delhi CM on Thursday withdrew a plea seeking consultation with his doctor thrice a week regarding his fluctuating sugar levels and moved a fresh plea on Friday seeking 15-minute daily consultations with his physician and access to insulin. The court will pronounce its order on April 22. Mr. Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21 in connection with the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case.
