Delhi
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has approached the Supreme Court (SC) seeking a
seven-day extension on his interim bail concerning the Delhi liquor policy
case. Kejriwal, citing serious health concerns, emphasised the necessity of
medical examinations, including a PET-CT scan, following a weight loss of seven
kilograms and heightened ketone levels.
Kejriwal
was initially granted interim bail until June 1 by the Supreme Court to
facilitate his participation in the 2024 Lok Sabha election campaign.
A medical team from Max Hospital has already
conducted preliminary assessments. The Chief Minister’s legal counsel argued
that these tests are crucial for his well-being, urging the court to grant the
extension to complete the necessary medical investigations.
