Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written to the superintendent of the Tihar jail, citing his need for daily insulin due to an increase in his blood sugar levels, according to sources from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). According to AAP insiders, Kejriwal also denied the jail administration's claim that physicians at AIIMS had written off worries about his health, reported PTI.

According to the sources' statement to the news agency, Kejriwal accused the jail administration of dishonesty due to political pressure in a letter he sent on Monday to the superintendent. The Tihar jail administration hasn't responded to these allegations right away, though.
