Tihar Jail authorities lied about Kejriwal’s treatment: AAP

The Tihar Jail authorities have been “lying” till now about the health treatment given to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as proved by a letter written to the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) by them seeking a diabetologist for him, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said on Sunday.

Senior AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said earlier the jail authorities had claimed that they are equipped with all facilities to look after the CM’s fluctuating sugar levels.

“Today, we have evidence that Mr. Kejriwal was not getting proper care as on April 20, when DG (Prisons) Sanjay Baniwal wrote to AIIMS asking that a specialist to deal with diabetes be provided at Jail No. 2, where Kejriwal is lodged,” he said.
