NEW DELHI: Tihar Jail administration on Saturday said that Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was on insulin for diabetes control.
Tihar jail submitted Delhi CM‘s health report to LG V K Saxena after he asked the director general of prisons for a factual report into the Aam Aadmi Party’s allegations that Kejriwal was not being provided insulin in Tihar jail.
Tihar Jail, in the report, said that as advised by the Telangana Doctor, the Delhi CM was on an insulin – reversal program and the doctor had stopped insulin dosage much before the arrest of Kejriwal.
“At the time of arrest, he was just taking a basic anti-diabetes oral medicine tablet Metformin… During his medical check-ups in Tihar Jail, CM Kejriwal told Doctors that he was taking insulin till last few years and stopped taking insulin a few months back allegedly by a Telangana Doctor… Also, as per the MLC report available from RML Hospital, Kejriwal was neither advised any insulin nor any requirement of any insulin was indicated,” the report read.
“On 10.04.2024 and 15.04.2024, Kejriwal was reviewed by Medicine Specialist and advised oral anti-diabetic drugs / medicines… it is incorrect to state that Kejriwal was denied insulin at any point of time during his treatment,” it added.
