The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday stated that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking a seven-day extension of his interim bail on medical grounds in connection with the alleged liquor policy.

The Delhi chief minister was released from Delhi’s Tihar Jail on May 10, 50 days after being imprisoned on corruption charges related to the alleged liquor policy scam, and shortly after the Supreme Court granted him bail until June 1, 2024.

Health Concerns and Medical Recommendations

As per AAP, Kejriwal has lost 7 kilograms since his arrest, and his ketone levels are high, which could indicate a serious disease.
The party also stated that doctors advised the AAP convenor to undergo a Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography (PET-CT) scan as well as other medical tests, which is why Kejriwal has requested an extension of his interim bail.

Involvement in Election Campaigning

After being released from jail, Kejriwal has been campaigning for the INDIA bloc in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Kejriwal in an excise policy case on March 21, just days after the general election schedule was announced.

Conditions of Bail and Court Orders

The bail is effective until June 1, and Kejriwal must surrender to authorities on June 2. He participates in election campaigns but is unable to attend his office as Chief Minister.
The Supreme Court imposed certain conditions on Kejriwal’s interim bail, including that he would not interact with any of the witnesses or have access to any official files related to the case.
He will not “make any comment concerning his role” in the current case, the bench ruled.

“He shall be bound by the statement made on his behalf that he shall not sign official files unless it is required and necessary for obtaining clearance/ approval of the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi,” the order read.
