Prison report says Kejriwal does not need insulin, AAP calls it ‘slow death’

Raj Niwas on Saturday released a medical status report submitted by the Director General (Prisons) to Lieutenant-Governor V.K Saxena which states that according to the doctors who examined him, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s blood sugar levels were “not alarming” and “administration of insulin is not required as of now”.

The report, submitted on April 19, mentions that doctors had examined him on April 3, 6, 10, 15 and 16. The CM has been lodged in Tihar Jail since April 1.

The DG (Prisons) report triggered another round of charges between the ruling AAP, which accused the BJP and the L-G of “pushing the CM towards a slow death”, and the Opposition party, which responded by saying that AAP was “trying to sail through a political storm by selling stories of illness”.
