Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is “creating a ground for bail” by deliberately eating mangoes, aloo puri and sweets as well as having tea with sugar to raise his blood sugar level, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) told a Delhi Court on Thursday.
The submissions were made by ED counsel Zoheb Hossain before the court in response to a plea by the Delhi CM for regular check-ups of his sugar level and consultation with his regular doctor through video conference.
“Today, he (Kejriwal) is in court custody. He is in custody because of our case. The cause of concern is he was allowed prescribed home cooked food because he claimed he has high diabetes. But he is having mangoes, sweets and sugar with with tea. This is a basis to create a ground for bail,” Hossain told the Rouse Avenue Court.
Hossain further said that the details came to be known after the ED wrote to Tihar jail and sought information about Kejriwal’s diet and the medicines being taken by him.
Advocate Vivek Jain, appearing for Kejriwal, objected to the submissions by ED and said that the investigating agency was making these allegations only for the media.
The Delhi CM is currently lodged in Tihar jail in connection with the money laundering probe related to Delhi excise policy case.
