Sunita Kejriwal Not Allowed To Meet Husband In Tihar Jail

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita was not allowed to meet the AAP leader on Monday. Permitting to meet would have violated the jail manual, sources in Tihar jail told Times Now. As per the rules, an inmate is allowed only two visitors within a week.

“Since Atishi and Bhagwant Maan had already applied through the visitors portal Sunita’s request was rejected. Tihar will reconsider her request post these two meetings,” the source was quoted as saying.

The Aam Aadmi Party had alleged the Tihar jail authorities denied permission to Sunita due to pressure from the Centre.

In a post on X in Hindi, the party said, “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.”

On Saturday, Sunita Kejriwal led her maiden roadshow in Delhi, campaigning for the Lok Sabha election. The massive roadshow was held in support of the AAP’s East Delhi candidate. The party is contesting four of Delhi’s seven constituencies. The Congress will contest the other three.
