Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has petitioned the Supreme Court for a seven-day extension on his interim bail in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case.
Citing serious health concerns, he highlighted the need for medical tests, including a PET-CT scan, following a weight loss of 7 kg and elevated ketone levels.
Kejriwal was granted interim bail until June 1 by the Supreme Court to participate in the Lok Sabha election campaign. He is required to surrender and return to Tihar Jail on June 2.
Max Hospital’s medical team has already conducted preliminary examinations. The Chief Minister’s legal counsel argued that the tests are crucial for his well-being.
The interim bail granted to Kejriwal earlier sparked controversy with BJP leaders alleging that he received “special treatment” from the Supreme Court. However, the justices involved in granting the bail have firmly stated that no exceptions were made in Kejriwal’s favour.
