Arvind Kejriwal’s blood sugar fell to 46: the chief minister of Delhi’s office!

The federal investigative agency ED, which detained the chief minister in a case of money laundering connected to purported anomalies in the since-cancelled Delhi excise policy 2021–2022, has not yet provided a response to the health update.

The Delhi High Court is being asked to grant relief by the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and the chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s office announced on Wednesday afternoon that the chief minister’s health has worsened since his incarceration.

“CM Arvind Kejriwal’s blood sugar level has fallen to 46 and is still erratic. Doctors advise against lowering blood sugar levels this low, according to an official at the CM office. But there’s uncertainty about the test’s timing and other specifics.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials who detained the chief minister in connection with a money laundering case involving purported anomalies in the since-cancelled Delhi excise policy 2021–22 have not yet replied to the health update.

Sunita, the CM’s spouse, had earlier in the day provided information about Kejriwal’s health, stating that he had diabetes and that despite erratic blood sugar levels, he has a strong will to live.

Two hours after a meal, postprandial blood sugar levels in healthy persons should normally remain below 140 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). These levels, however, may be higher in diabetics, indicating a problem with blood sugar regulation.

Punjab Excise Commissioner’s residence raided in Delhi liquor policy case

The Enforcement Directorate is probing 20 locations in Chandigarh, including the Punjab Excise Commissioner’s residence, in connection with the now-defunct Delhi excise policy.

In Short

  • Enforcement Directorate conducts raids at 20 locations in Chandigarh
  • Punjab Excise Commissioner’s residence raided
  • Raids connected to scrapped Delhi excise policy

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids on Wednesday at 20 locations in Chandigarh, including the residence of the Punjab Excise Commissioner, in connection to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.

The house of the IAS officer was also raised by the probe agency in September 2023 as well.

There was no additional information on the ongoing raids.

The latest ED raids come as the Delhi High Court is hearing Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s plea against his arrest by the probe agency in connection with the liquor policy scam.

Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 from his Civil Lines residence, hours after the Delhi High Court refused to grant him interim relief from any coercive action by the probe agency.

The Aam Aadmi Party national convenor’s petition called his arrest and the subsequent remand to the ED “illegal”.

The plea also sought his immediate release from ED custody.

‘Arvind Kejriwal greedy’: BJP lambasts Delhi CM’s second order from jail

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday slammed Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal for issuing his second order from the Enforcement Directorate’s custody, saying he doesn’t want to leave the post because of his insecurity.

Demanding his resignation as the chief minister on moral grounds, BJP leader Dr Harshvardhan said Kejriwal’s move to remain the chief minister of Delhi despite his arrest shows his greed.

“Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal is in jail. Therefore, he should resign morally and give his responsibility to someone else. Arvind Kejriwal still holding his position shows that he is greedy and does not want to leave his chair because of his insecurity,” he said.

BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa said the chief minister can’t issue any directions from the jail.

“A chief minister cannot issue any direction from the jail. This is a drama. I have complained about this to the L-G, demanding strict action against them,” he said.

Bharatiya Janata Party leader Harish Khurana said Kejriwal was trying to play the victim card.

“Kejriwal is in jail due to corruption for which former deputy CM Manish Sisodia has not got bail for the last 14 months. Kejriwal is the kingpin of the liquor scam. Arvind Kejriwal used to say that people facing corruption charges should resign, but now he is not resigning and is passing orders from behind bars,” he said.

Arvind Kejriwal, who was arrested last week in connection with the liquor policy case, issued directions from ED custody to ensure that medicines and tests are available at all government hospitals and Mohalla Clinics, health minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said today.

“Despite being in ED custody, Arvind Kejriwal is worried about the health of the people of Delhi. He is worried that because he is jailed, the people of Delhi should not suffer because of it,” Saurabh Bharadwaj said.

Arvind Kejriwal issued his first executive order from jail on Sunday.

PTI had reported that the Enforcement Directorate will look into the legality of such orders. It will ascertain if the orders are in line with the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court’s order.

Meanwhile, Delhi government’s Secretary of Planning, Niharika Rai, said the public services are not affected by Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest.

“Public services, social welfare schemes and subsidies are not affected by the arrest of the CM.

People should not be misled by any fear-mongering and malicious disinformation in this regard,” she said in a press note.

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party launched a massive protest in Delhi demanding Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation.

State BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva said: “The CM of Delhi is corrupt and dishonest and he has looted the people of Delhi. We are going to the Secretariat to demand his resignation… The government is not running from the jail. Just like AAP’s character, the orders are also fake… Arvind Kejriwal has to resign.”

Thirupathanna and N Bhujanga Rao, the accused men, were detained for planning to conduct unlawful surveillance with another police officer.

According to a PTI story on Monday, the Hyderabad Police have detained two additional senior officers in relation to the Telangana phone tapping case.

The issue concerns the alleged surveillance of multiple individuals’ phones, allegedly including Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, during the previous year’s Assembly elections, as well as the destruction of specific computer systems and government data.

In response to a report submitted by D Ramesh, an additional superintendent of police with the Special Intelligence Bureau, D Praneeth Rao, a suspended deputy superintendent of police, was taken into custody on March 13.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Thirupathanna and Additional Superintendent of Police N Bhujanga Rao were detained on suspicion of conspiring with Praneeth Rao, the police said in a statement on Saturday, according to PTI.

“The two police officers have admitted to participating in the reported crimes during questioning. These crimes include conspiring to unlawfully monitor private individuals by creating false profiles and abusing their official positions; to cause evidence to vanish by damaging public property to hide their involvement in collusion with D Praneeth Kumar, also known as Praneeth Rao, DSP [under suspension], and some other individuals,” the release stated.

As per The Hindu, the pair of police officials have been placed under judicial detention till April 6.

Praneeth Rao’s statement was included in the police’s remand report that was presented to a Hyderabad court. According to Deccan Chronicle, Rao claimed that he participated in the purported phone tapping and data destruction on former Special Intelligence Bureau chief T Prabhakar Rao’s orders.

Praneeth Rao stated, “Prabhakar Rao told me to get engaged in phone tapping, he would take care of my promotion.” “Tapped phone numbers from Thirupatanna and N Bhujanga Rao.”

Claims directed at Praneeth Rao

Six days after Praneeth Rao was suspended as the deputy superintendent of police for “gross misconduct” and “abuse of official position,” the Punjagutta Police filed a criminal case against him on March 10.

According to D Ramesh’s complaint, Praneeth Rao exhibited a troubling pattern of behavior from 2018 to 2023 while serving as the Special Intelligence Bureau’s deputy superintendent of police and then as an inspector. This was published by The Hindu.

He claimed that Rao was involved in disassembling and erasing data from up to 42 hard drives and swapping them out for new ones. Ramesh further said that on the evening of December 4, 2023, the day Bharat Rashtra Samithi lost the Assembly elections, Rao turned off the cameras and disassembled and destroyed equipment holding data.

Additionally, cases under the Information Technology Act and the Prevention of Destruction of Public Records Act of 1984 were filed.

Congress digs out Kangana Ranaut’s ‘soft porn star’ remark, hits back

Congress has hit back at Kangana Ranaut for her derogatory remarks about Urmila Matondkar, questioning her failure to condemn her own comments, following Supriya Shrinate’s clarification of an objectionable post related to Ranaut on her Instagram.

In Short

  • Congress slams Kangana Ranaut for derogatory remarks
  • Ranaut called Urmila Matondkar a ‘soft porn star’ in earlier video
  • Supriya Shrinate clarifies objectionable post on Ranaut

Hours after Congress lawmaker Supriya Shrinate clarified an offensive tweet about Kangana Ranaut on her Instagram account, the party attacked the actor for referring to actor Urmila Matondkar, who had previously joined and left Congress, as a “soft porn star”.

Srinivas BV, president of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) on X, shared an older video of Ranaut raving about Urmila Matondkar, saying, “What was posted from Supriya Ji’s account was utterly disrespectful. She has not only erased it, but also clarified and condemned it in the strongest possible terms.” (sic).

“How about you?” Calling Urmila Matondkar a’soft porn star’ on live television? “Have you condemned it?” he tweeted.

THE KANGANA-URMILA CONTROVERSY

Urmila Matondkar, who made her political debut as a Congress candidate in the 2019 Lok Sabha election from the Mumbai North constituency, resigned from the party soon after. Later, in 2020, she joined Shiv Sena.

Urmila had slammed Kangana for disrespecting veteran actor Jaya Bachchan, who, in a 2020 speech in Parliament, had objected to the entire film industry being ‘tarnished’.

In an interview, Urmila said, “When Kangana was not even born, Jaya ji was in the film industry. We’re talking about a lady here (Jaya Bachchan) who has herself been an icon. Which part of Indian culture tells you to lash out at people like this?”

AAP to gherao PM Narendra Modi’s home following today’s detention of Arvind Kejriwal, police increase security

According to the Delhi Police, the AAP is not permitted to organize any protests today.

PM Narendra Modi: In response to the Aam Aadmi Party’s request to gherao the expansive mansion in protest of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s incarceration, the Delhi Police have stepped up security surrounding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home.

However, according to ANI, the Delhi Police have stated that they have not given the AAP permission to stage any protests.

“The AAP has not been given permission to protest. In order to preserve law and order, we have sufficiently manoeuvred at the PM house and the Patel Chowk metro station, Deputy Commissioner of Police Devesh Kumar Mahla said ANI. “There will be no marching or protesting permitted. There have been no route diversions.

The police have increased security in a number of other areas of the nation’s capital in addition to the PM’s home.

Strong security measures have been put in place. To preserve law and order in the region, we have put in multiple levels of protection,” an unnamed Delhi Police officer told PTI.

“Section 144 (of the CrPC) is already imposed around the prime minister’s residence and no one will be allowed to protest,” he stated.

The AAP’s protest is expected to have a negative impact on traffic flow in some areas of central and new Delhi.

The Delhi Traffic Police released a warning on Monday, March 26th, saying that no car will be permitted to stop or park anywhere on Tughlak Road, Safdarjung Road, or Kemal Ataturk Marg.

“General public entry will not be permitted on Tughlak Road, Safdarjung Road, or Kemal Ataturk Marg in order to ensure smooth traffic management in the New Delhi area. Vehicles found parked on the aforementioned roads shall be towed away and prosecuted for improper parking and disobedience of lawful instructions,” the advisory continued, as reported by PTI.

Additionally, it stated that the police asked commuters to stay off of Teen Murti Marg, Safdarjung Road, Akbar Road, and Kemal Ataturk Marg.

In an effort to protest Kejriwal’s incarceration, Delhi Minister Gopal Rai had stated last week that he intended to “gherao” the prime minister’s mansion on Tuesday. Rai has also demanded “mega protests” by AAP members around the country.

On March 21, Kejriwal was taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate following several mentions of him in the chargesheets pertaining to the excise policy issue. Despite receiving nine summonses from the ED, he declined to give a deposition to the investigative agency.

The national convenor of the AAP is charged with requesting bribes from alcohol vendors in return for favors. He has additionally been charged by the ED with being the “kingpin and key conspirator” behind the now-cancelled policy.

Kejriwal has refuted the allegations, claiming that the Centre, led by the BJP, is “manipulating investigative agencies for political motives”.

AAP leaders chose on Monday to abstain from Holi festivities in protest of their convenor’s apprehension.

“Holi is more than just a celebration; it represents the triumph of righteousness over injustice and the triumph of virtue over evil. All Aam Aadmi Party leaders are currently engaged in a day-and-night struggle against injustice, cruelty, and wickedness. Atishi posted on X, “This year, the Aam Aadmi Party has decided that we will not play with colors and we will not celebrate Holi.”

CM Arvind Kejriwal issues first order from jail; Sunita Kejriwal is the target of BJP’s increased attacks!

The Bharatiya Janata Party has been demanding that Kejriwal relinquish the chief ministerial post.

New Delhi: Following his apprehension in connection with the liquor policy scandal, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has issued his first directive. He was arrested on Thursday night, making him the first chief minister in office currently serving. In the meantime, Sunita Kejriwal, Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, has been the target of increased BJP attacks.

“From ED detention, he (Kejriwal) has given his first directive. The instructions are for the Water department of the city government. Later in the day, Atishi, the minister of water, will make the announcement, party officials told PTI.

Kejriwal’s resignation as chief minister has been demanded by the cc. The AAP has insisted that he will lead the government while incarcerated.

In a scathing critique of Kejriwal’s proposed jail plans, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari stated on Saturday that gangs, not governments, operate out of jails.

Tiwari persisted in criticizing Kejriwal on Sunday. In addition, he launched a fresh offensive against his spouse Sunita Kejriwal, who on Saturday had brought the chief minister’s message to Delhi.

The narrative ‘Ek safar swaraj se sharab tak’ comes to mind when you consider Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest.Arvind Kejriwal stated, “My sole concern is how I’m going to move into a ‘Rajmahal’ as soon as possible.

He also attacked Sunita Kejriwal with a scathing remark.

Yesterday, Sunita Kejriwal conducted an interview while seated in the chief minister’s chair; she showed no signs of embarrassment.There is a national conversation about the excellent work being done by the ED and CBI. A small group of dishonest people also disparage him. This was not how ED and CBI operated before to 2014. Because the Congress government had to safeguard corruption nationwide prior to 2014, they did not grant the agencies that authority.

The party is called CM’s. The government was reorganized after 2014. A new record has been set by Narendra Modi. They’re given a free hand, be it any agency,” he continued.

The Enforcement Directorate is in charge of Arvind Kejriwal till March 28. He has filed a case against his arrest with the Delhi High Court.

The Delhi High Court has received an appeal from Arvind Kejriwal claiming that his arrest was illegal and illegitimate. He went so far as to claim that the fact that the ED had custody of him until March 28 is illegal and that he ought to be released right away. The Delhi High Court did not impose a stay on any order and declined to have an emergency hearing. Upon examination of all supporting documentation, the courts conclude that all events were fully compliant with the law. They attempted to take this case to the SC at midnight two days ago. Arvind Kejriwal also had to withdraw his SC case,” Sambit remarked.

AAP leaders have launched a massive protest in Delhi against Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal Remanded To Custody For 7 Days In Corruption Case!


Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, was arrested on charges of corruption, and a judge ruled that he be kept under remand.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, Mr. Kejriwal, was taken into custody by India’s financial crimes agency on Thursday.

Opposition leaders claim his arrest was made for political reasons, while he has denied any wrongdoing.

The accusation has been rejected by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party claims that the government is combating corruption.

On Friday afternoon, Mr. Kejriwal appeared in a Delhi trial court.

His attorney, Shadan Farasat, told news agency AFP following his apprehension, “We are considering our next course of action.”

Weeks before the general elections, several AAP officials were arrested in the nation’s capital, and infrequent demonstrations against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal detention broke out all over India.

Leaders of the AAP have said that they will carry on with their demonstrations, including one outside the prime minister’s house.

AAP leader and Delhi Finance Minister Atishi, who goes by one name, claimed that Kejriwal had been detained in order to prevent him from running for office in the general elections.

In a statement, she continued, “This is a way to steal elections.”

What AAP’s Alliances Have To Say?

Delhi CM Arrest Over Corruption Case

The opposition faces a blow by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s detention by a financial crimes agency, which occurs only weeks before India’s general elections. The 27-party INDIA alliance, of which the AAP is a member, seeks to overthrow the BJP.

Rahul Gandhi of the main opposition Congress party tweeted on X, formerly Twitter, referring to Mr. Modi, saying, “A scared dictator wants to create a dead democracy.”

“The arrest of elected chief ministers has become a common thing,” Gandhi stated in a letter.

The Nationalist Congress Party’s (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader, Sharad Pawar, stated that Mr. Kejriwal’s arrest demonstrates the “depth to which BJP will stoop for power.”

Chief Minister of the Samajwadi Party Akhilesh Yadav declared that Mr. Kejriwal’s detention would “give birth to a new people’s revolution”.

“BJP knows that it will not come to power again, due to this fear, it wants to remove the opposition leaders from the public by any means at the time of elections, arrest is just an excuse,” he wrote in a post on X.

The chief minister of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan, described Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal arrest as “outright vicious and part of a callous plot to silence all opposition voices just ahead of the general elections”.

According to M K Stalin, his equivalent in Tamil Nadu, “not a single BJP leader faces scrutiny or arrest, laying bare their abuse of power and the decay of democracy.”

“The BJP government’s unrelenting persecution of opposition leaders reminds me of a desperate witch hunt.” The BJP’s true colors are shown by this oppression, which incites public wrath,” Mr. Stalin stated.

Other Arrests That Are Being Linked To Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal Arrest!

During the last year or two, a number of opposition figures have been detained, interrogated, or faced legal action brought by federal agencies.

Only a few days ago, K Kavitha, the leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), was taken into custody in connection with Mr. Kejriwal’s case. She rejects the accusations.

A federal tax agency detained Hemant Soren, the head of the opposition Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and a former chief minister of Jharkhand, in January on suspicion of money laundering and land grabbing. Mr. Soren disputes the claims.

The previous year, Mr. Gandhi was found guilty of criminal libel following a complaint from a BJP member.

He was temporarily barred from the parliament due to his two-year prison sentence, but in August of last year, a higher court overturned the decision.

The Congress party charged on Thursday that the government of Mr. Modi was depriving them of funds in advance of the polls by utilizing the tax department.

With regard to the now-cancelled liquor program in Delhi, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal is the third AAP leader to be taken into custody in connection with an alleged corruption case.

In the same case last year, the AAP member Sanjay Singh and Mr. Kejriwal’s deputy, Manish Sisodia, were both taken into custody by the Enforcement Directorate.

AAP has been in power in Delhi since 2013. In 2022, the party won big in the state elections of Punjab and picked up a few seats in Gujarat, the home state of Mr. Modi.
