Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's recent stint in Tihar jail raised eyebrows as reports surfaced that he was not provided with a cooler despite the scorching heat in the capital. Atishi, a senior AAP leader, alleged that Kejriwal's weight was measured multiple times and he was kept in a cell without proper cooling facilities. This controversy stirred a debate on social media, with many criticizing the treatment of the elected official while in custody.

The lack of a cooler for Kejriwal sparked outrage, with the AAP claiming that the ruling BJP orchestrated the alleged torture of the Delhi CM. Atishi's statements added fuel to the fire, pointing fingers at the authorities for the conditions faced by Kejriwal. The incident highlighted the ongoing political tensions in the region, with each party using the situation to further their narratives.

Tihar jail officials responded to the allegations, stating that Kejriwal was treated as per protocol and there was no discrimination. The denial of a cooler and the repeated weighing incidents were addressed, attempting to clarify the circumstances surrounding Kejriwal's imprisonment. The conflicting accounts between the AAP and the authorities left the public questioning the truth behind the claims.

In a turn of events, it was revealed that Kejriwal's jail stay without a cooler was not the only issue. As the controversy unfolded, discussions emerged regarding the treatment of elected officials in custody and the responsibilities of the state towards ensuring their well-being. The incident shed light on the challenges faced by politicians in the legal system, raising questions about the rights and privileges afforded to those holding public office.
