The jail administration had earlier stated that there have been satisfactory provisions within the jail for Mr Kejriwal’s therapy.
Mr Bharadwaj and Delhi Minister Atishi had yesterday claimed that Mr Kejriwal is being pushed in the direction of “slow death” by being denied insulin and consultations together with his docs.
Atishi stated that Mr Kejriwal used to take 50 models of insulin each day earlier than he was despatched to jail. “At the behest of the BJP, a conspiracy is underway to kill Mr Kejriwal in jail. The chief minister has been taking insulin for 12 years, what is the problem for the Tihar administration to give insulin to him?,” she requested.
The Tihar administration maintains that there’s satisfactory availability of insulin within the jail dispensary and it may be administered to Mr Kejriwal “as and when required.
Mr Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money-laundering case linked to the Delhi government’s now-scrapped excise policy.
According to the medical records from RML Hospital, Mr Kejriwal was “neither suggested any insulin nor any requirement of any insulin was indicated”, the Tihar report said and added that the chief minister’s health was reviewed by a medicine specialist on April 10 and April 15.
The specialist advised oral anti-diabetic drugs and it is “incorrect to state that Mr Kejriwal was denied insulin at any level of time” during his treatment, it said.
The medicine specialist, after examining Mr Kejriwal, noted, “Considering all parameters and vitals of undertrial prisoner (Mr Kejriwal) since his lodgment in judicial custody, his blood sugar ranges aren’t alarming, and administration of insulin shouldn’t be required as of now.”
The ED had told the court that Arvind Kejriwal was eating food high in sugar like mangoes and sweets every day, despite having type 2 diabetes, to create grounds for medical bail.
In a letter to AIIMS, the administration had sought a diet plan for the AAP chief, saying that Mr Kejriwal had been consuming high-sugar food such as “sweets, laddoos, bananas, mangoes, fruit chaat, fried meals, namkeen, bhujia, sweetened tea, poori-aloo, pickles and different excessive ldl cholesterol meals regularly”.
