In the previous week, during a hearing, the Enforcement Directorate alleged Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of ‘deliberate and intentional consumption of mangoes, sweets and sugar’ to increase his sugar level.
The hearing was centred in a petition filed by Kejriwal for none other rather the monitoring of his sugar level daily and for him to gain access to his doctor via, in most cases, a three-time-a-week video conference.
On the contrary, ED was represented by its special counsel Zoheb Hossain who argued that the purpose behind Kejriwal’s alleged act was to place a foundation for seeking bail since the petition often sets out a request for the monitoring of a rising or falling blood sugar level.
In response, Kejriwal’s lawyer, Advocate Vivek Jain accused the NGOs and ED’s counsel of making statements that are ‘made for the media’.
He also informed the regular Central Bureau of Investigation Special Judge, Vishal Pahuja that he would be withdrawing the petition and submitting another. This case portrays a complicated situation where legal procedures are entangled with health issues and a renowned public figure’s personal life.
