Delhi Minister Atishi claimed that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who suffers from "severe diabetes", has lost 4.5 kg weight ever since his arrest. "Arvind Kejriwal suffers from severe diabetes. Despite health problems, he used to work 24 hours a day to serve the country. Since his arrest, Arvind Kejriwal has lost 4.5 kg of weight. This is very worrying," Atishi said in a post on 'X'.Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly conspiring to put Kejriwal in jail, Atishi added, "Today, the BJP is putting his health at risk by jailing him.

Party sources said that since his arrest, Kejriwal has lost four and a half kilogrammes of weight and his doctors have expressed concern over his rapidly decreasing weight.Also Read | Excise Policy Case: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal Spends Restless Night in Tihar, His Sugar Level Low, Say Jail Officials.Meanwhile, Kejriwal, who has been remanded to judicial custody in the liquor policy case, spoke to his wife, Sunita Kejriwal, through video conference on Tuesday at around 1:30 pm.
