Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has lost 4.5 kg since he was arrested on March 21, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and minister Atishi said on Wednesday.
However, authorities in Tihar jail have said he is fine, and he has not lost weight since he was lodged in the jail two days back, NDTV reported.
In a post on X, Atishi said Kejriwal is a “severe diabetic”. “Despite his health problems, he works round the clock to serve the nation. Between his arrest and now, Arvind Kejriwal has lost 4.5 kg. This is very worrying. The BJP is putting his health in danger. If something happens to Arvind Kejriwal, not just the country, even God won’t forgive them,” she said.
The Delhi Chief Minister, arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped liquor policy, was shifted to Tihar jail on Monday after he was remanded in judicial custody till April 15.
Sources in the high-security prison told NDTV, his weight was 55 kg when he was brought there. His weight, they said, remains unchanged. And his blood sugar levels are also normal now. They said he did yoga and meditation this morning and also walked in his cell.
