‘He lost 7 kg of weight’: Atishi on Delhi CM’s Interim Bail Extension Plea

AAP leader Atishi revealed that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has requested a 7-day extension of his interim bail. She highlighted that during his periods in ED and judicial custody, Kejriwal underwent a notable weight loss of 7 kg, a concern flagged by doctors. Despite receiving medical supervision post-release, he hasn’t been able to recover the lost weight. Initial tests indicated elevated ketone levels, raising concerns of potential serious ailments like kidney damage or cancer. Consequently, doctors advised a battery of tests, including a full-body PET scan, to assess his health

AAP leader Atishi tweeted on X “Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has filed for a 7-day extension of his interim bail. When he was in ED custody, judicial custody, he lost 7 kg of weight. This sudden weight loss is a matter of concern for doctors. Despite being out of custody and under medical supervision, he has not been able to regain that weight again. Early tests have indicated that his ketone levels are extremely high. Unexplained sudden weight loss along with high ketone levels could be the indicator of some serious medical ailments, including damage to the kidneys, including cancer. Therefore doctors have suggested that he needs to have a set of series of investigations including PET scan of his entire body and other such serious tests…”
