Demanded bail extension on medical grounds
It is reported that Arvind Kejriwal has suddenly lost weight. This is a possible symptom of kidney damage, serious heart-disease or even cancer. Due to this concern, other medical examinations need to be done. Hence Kejriwal demanded an extension of 7 days in the interim bail. He requested permission to return to Tihar jail on 9th June instead of 2nd June, but the Supreme Court refused the request.
