Meanwhile, Arvind Kejriwal on Monday wrote a letter to the Tihar Jail Superintendent in which he expressed his concern over the jail administration's statements on the issue of insulin and AIIMS doctors assuring of no serious problems to him.

In the letter, CM Arvind Kejriwal said, "I have read the statement of Tihar administration in the newspaper. I felt sad after reading the statement. Both the statements of Tihar are false. I am asking for insulin daily. I showed the glucose metre readings and said that the sugar is going very high three times a day. Sugar goes between 250 to 320."

If you ask any doctor in the world, he will say that a sugar level above 300 can't be controlled without insulin. But, the Tihar administration at the direction of the BJP has denied insulin. Such cruelty even didn't happen under the Britishers. What kind of cruelty is this from the BJP that they're denying insulin to a diabetic having a sugar level above 300," Atishi told ANI.
