New Delhi, May 22 (IANS) Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal spent a sleepless Wednesday night in the Tihar Jail, struggling with mosquitoes' buzz and bite and warm air in the cell, said Tihar sources.<br /><br />A Tihar official told IANS that Kejriwal was seen turning on his sides on a mat inside the 16-by-10 feet separate cell of ward number 14 in jail number 4.<br /><br />"As there is only one fan inside Kejriwal's cell, he was seen changing sides on his mat and bedding due to warm weather. Mosquito bites also left the AAP leader some sleepless hours till late night," the Tihar official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told IANS.<br /><br />Kejriwal has been lodged in the same jail where anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare was lodged in 2011 and accommodated adjacent to the ward of former Bahujan Samaj Party MP Dhananjay Singh, who is accused in the torture and murder of his maid.<br /><br />Kejriwal reached the jail around 6.30 p.m. Wednesday, ate bread, 'dal' and 'khichdi', a mixture of pulse and rice, for dinner.<br /><br />The officer said he woke up around 5.30 a.m. and took breakfast after meditation.<br /><br />"Like any other prisoner, Kejriwal also slept on a mat provided by the jail authorities.
