In Saturday’s hearing, ED claimed in the court that Kejriwal has suppressed facts and given false statements regarding his health. His weight has increased by one kilo, but he is falsely claiming that his weight has reduced by seven kilos. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the court that Kejriwal also made a misleading claim in the press conference on May 31 that he was going to surrender on June 2. Kejriwal’s lawyer said in the court that he is ill and needs treatment.
