How did Arvind Kejriwal spend his Day 1 in Tihar Jail?
As per reports, the Delhi Chief Minister was imprisoned in Jail Number 2 of the high-security Tihar Jail. Kejriwal on Monday was given an isolation room with a table and a chair to retain three books, as ordered by the court. Furthermore, it is revealed that Arvind Kejriwal slept in his own bed, which was different from the one provided by the jail authority. He may have encountered difficulties due to the limited size of the area, but he did not complain.
The hail authorities also kept an eye on the Delhi CM when he was keeping his equipment that included a sugar sensor and glucometer, Isabgol, glucose, and toffees, on his table.
