Tihar Now Seeking Diabetologist After Claiming Arrangements For Diabetics Present In Jail: Bharadwaj

Arvind Kejriwal Arrest LIVE: The Delhi High Court is scheduled to hear two petitions by Delhi CM and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Chief Arvind Kejriwal on Monday. The First PIL requests an ‘extra ordinary interim bail’ for the CM who is in the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) custody in an alleged excise policy scam. The second plea challenges the nine summonses issued by the ED in relation to the money laundering case linked to the nullified excise policy. Justices Suresh Kumar Kait and Manoj Jain will preside over the hearing of these petitions.

On April 9, the high court rejected Kejriwal's request to challenge his arrest by the investigation agency, stating that his arrest was legal because he had repeatedly ignored summons. Also, the Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi has extended Kejriwal's detention until April 23, and he is placed in Tihar jail.

Earlier on Friday, the Rouse Avenue court reserved an order on a plea submitted by Kejriwal seeking instructions for Tihar jail officials to provide him with insulin and a permit for a daily 15-minute video consultation with doctors. He filed the petition, citing his severe diabetes condition and blood sugar level fluctuations.
