Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, currently incarcerated in Tihar Jail and suffering from Type-2 diabetes, has been at the center of a contentious issue regarding his medical treatment. Kejriwal has reportedly been requesting insulin daily, a claim supported by AAP sources. However, there have been allegations from AAP leaders, including Atishi, that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Tihar Jail administration have opposed these medical requests, suggesting that Kejriwal does not need insulin if he follows a specific diet chart provided by AIIMS doctors. This has led to protests by AAP workers and statements from Kejriwal's wife, Sunita Kejriwal, alleging that the central government is attempting to harm him by withholding necessary medical care. The situation escalated to the courts, with a Delhi court recently directing AIIMS to form a medical board to assess Kejriwal's health needs, specifically his insulin requirements.
