Tihar jail administration grants permission to Sunita Kejriwal for meeting Arvind Kejriwal, AAP says

Sunita, the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, has received approval from the Tihar jail administration to meet him and is scheduled to visit him later today, as stated by the AAP on Monday. "Sunita Kejriwal will be meeting the chief minister at 12.30 pm. She will be accompanied by Delhi cabinet minister Atishi during the meeting," the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said.

On Sunday, the AAP mentioned that the jail authorities had refused her request to meet the chief minister, a claim that was denied by the prison authorities.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is scheduled to meet Kejriwal on Tuesday.


According to the jail manual, an inmate is allowed two meetings per week, with two people permitted to meet the prisoner at a time, and a maximum of four people allowed to visit in a week.

In a post on social media platform X in Hindi, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday stated, "At the behest of the Modi government, the Tihar jail administration cancelled Sunita Kejriwal's meeting with her husband Arvind Kejriwal. The Modi government is crossing all limits of inhumanity.

"An elected chief minister is being treated like a terrorist. The Modi government should tell the people of the country as to why it is not allowing Sunita Kejriwal ji to meet her husband Arvind Kejriwal ji?"

Kejriwal was arrested on March 21 in connection with an excise policy-linked money laundering case. He is in judicial custody till May 7.
