New Delhi – In a significant judicial decision, the Rouse Avenue Court on Saturday refused to allow Sunita Kejriwal to be present during her husband, Arvind Kejriwal’s consultations with the medical board constituted by AIIMS. The medical board is overseeing the Delhi Chief Minister’s medical condition during his judicial custody related to the money laundering case involving the now-scrapped Delhi liquor excise policy.
Court’s Ruling
While denying Sunita Kejriwal’s request to attend her husband’s medical consultations, the court directed Tihar jail authorities to provide Arvind Kejriwal with the medical records of his consultations with the board. Additionally, the court allowed Sunita Kejriwal to independently approach the medical board with any queries related to the diet prescribed for her husband.
Background of the Case
Arvind Kejriwal is currently in judicial custody until July 12, following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on June 26. The arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities in the Delhi liquor excise policy for 2021-22. Earlier in the day, Sunita Kejriwal released a video message alleging that her husband was a victim of a “deep conspiracy” and had been wrongfully arrested based on a false statement by a witness.
Allegations and Political Reactions
In her video, Sunita Kejriwal claimed that the arrest was politically motivated, suggesting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi aimed to eliminate Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) using agencies like the ED and CBI. She pointed out that the witness, TDP MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, had altered his statement after his son’s arrest, initially claiming a meeting with the Delhi CM in March 2021 regarding land for a charitable trust.
Legal Proceedings and Public Statements
The ongoing investigation has sparked significant political controversy, with various parties closely monitoring the developments. Arvind Kejriwal, 55, was arrested on March 21 in connection with the money laundering case tied to the excise policy. The case has seen multiple high-profile accusations and counter-accusations, reflecting the intense political climate surrounding the investigation.
Conclusion
As the legal proceedings continue, the denial of Sunita Kejriwal’s request to be present during medical consultations adds another layer of complexity to the case. The court’s decision underscores the seriousness of the judicial process and the stringent measures being enforced. The progress of the investigation and subsequent court rulings will be closely observed, with significant implications for Delhi’s political landscape.
