Prison officials in the Indian capital have administered an insulin injection to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after his blood sugar levels surged, as reported by his party to the BBC.
Mr Kejriwal has been confined in Tihar jail since his apprehension on 21 March.
The authorities have alleged the former anti-corruption activist of involvement in a money laundering case – a claim he has refuted.
His arrest shortly before India’s general election commenced left many Indians in disbelief.
Critics argue that the actions against Mr Kejriwal and other opposition figures ahead of the election are politically driven, skewing the level playing field in the parliamentary race. The Indian government maintains that investigative agencies are simply carrying out their duties.
Mr Kejriwal, whose pre-trial detention was prolonged by two weeks on Tuesday, suffers from diabetes, raising concerns about his well-being among his supporters.
This situation has sparked a verbal clash between his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), prison authorities, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED), the agency behind his arrest, has accused Mr Kejriwal of intentionally consuming excessive mangoes and sweets to elevate his blood sugar levels, potentially as a ploy to secure bail.
Mr Kejriwal and his party vehemently dismissed these allegations, blaming the Tihar authorities for inadequate treatment that led to the spike in his blood glucose levels.
In a letter to the prison officials on Monday, Mr Kejriwal disclosed his ten-day plea for insulin. He highlighted consistent high sugar levels, well above the normal range.
Despite his requests, the prison authorities refrained from providing insulin, citing his failure to request it during a video consultation.
Following a court directive on Monday, doctors from Delhi’s premier hospital AIIMS prescribed his medication, leading to the administration of the insulin injection that evening, according to AAP spokesperson Pritam Pal Singh.
The AAP also accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of withholding treatment from Mr Kejriwal, alleging deliberate negligence. AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj condemned the BJP government’s actions.
The BJP countered, accusing AAP of orchestrating a sympathy campaign for Mr Kejriwal during the ongoing general election. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva asserted that Mr Kejriwal’s diabetes was under control in jail.
Mr Kejriwal becomes the third AAP figure arrested in connection with Delhi’s now-defunct alcohol sales policy, which allegedly favored liquor magnates in exchange for kickbacks.
Labeling his arrest as “unlawful,” Mr Kejriwal criticized the investigation, claiming the ED failed to present specific charges against him.

Marketingphänomen “Stanley Cup” | MO | 22 04 2024 | 17:55

Thermos flasks and stainless steel cups can be refilled again and again – and are therefore quite sustainable. However, if such cups become a trendy lifestyle product that everyone wants, they quickly lose this bonus. It’s best to come in several colors and special editions so that they match your outfit, or as a collector’s item for the shelf.
This is what happened in the case of the “Stanley Cup”: The thermal cup went viral on TikTok in the last few months and, thanks to clever influencer marketing, became the Holy Grail of the health-conscious GenZ. Daniela Derntl knows more about it.
