[00:04:14] with his family doctor but is requested of being denied by the jail administration

[00:04:19] party spokesperson Saurabh Bharatwaj said in a press conference.

[00:04:25] The E.D.

[00:04:26] Harun Thursday claimed before the court that Kejriwal was eating food high in sugar

[00:04:30] like mangoes and sweets every day despite having typed two diabetes to create grounds for medical

[00:04:36] bail.

[00:04:40] Online food delivery platform Samadu has received a tax demand and penalty order of Rs 11.82

[00:04:47] crore related to GST on export services provided to its subsidiaries located outside India
