Meanwhile, Kejriwal today withdrew his earlier application and filed a fresh plea seeking permission for fifteen-minute visits by a doctor daily to monitor his diabetes and fluctuating blood sugar levels.
He has also prayed that his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, be allowed to remain present during these medical check-ups.
“It is a well-known fact that he (Kejriwal) suffers from Diabetes. For 12 years, he has got insulin every day. He was being given insulin every day. From February, well before my arrest, an insulin reversal programme started. It has to be monitored very, very minutely. It is common ground that I am unable to follow the programme in jail. I have said repeatedly that only my doctor can monitor it minutely. My only prayer is that I be allowed to consult my doctor,” Singhvi told the Court today.
