Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is currently in the custody of the Enforcement Directorate, is said to be suffering from health issues. As per sources, Kejriwal's blood sugar levels have been fluctuating and have dropped to 46, which the doctors say is dangerous. The Aam Aadmi Party national convener was arrested by ED on March 21 in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy case. 

Addressing a press conference earlier in the day, Kejriwal's wife, Sunita Kejriwal said that his blood sugar level was fluctuating.  

"I met Arvind Kejriwal in jail yesterday, he has diabetes, and his sugar level is not under control. However, his determination is strong," she said. 

Kejriwal has moved a petition in the Delhi High Court against his arrest and remand by the ED, the order of which will be pronounced by the court at 4 pm today. 

Arguing from Kejriwal's side, his lawyer said that the arrest by the ED was illegal and violated the basic structure of the Indian Constitution. Kejriwal's lawyers also pressed for his immediate release however the ED kept asking for more time to file a reply. 

During the press conference, Sunita Kejriwal said that her husband would reveal the whereabouts of the money in the "so-called liquor policy scam" on March 28 in court.

She also said that the AAP chief will also furnish evidence to prove his innocence.  "They couldn't recover a single paisa in multiple raids. So where is the money? Arvindji will reveal everything on March 28. He will furnish proof as well," she said.

Hitting out at BJP for filing a complaint against the Delhi CM for issuing a government from jail, Sunita said that the order was issued to benefit the people of Delhi and there was nothing wrong with it.
