Ghaziabad, Jan 22: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who sat on a two-day dharna outside the Rail Bhavan, is unwell on Wednesday and undergoing tests at a hospital here.
Kejriwal is suffering from acute bronchitis and had fever in the night, sources at Yashoda Hospital here said.

Dr Bipin Mittal, the chief minister's family doctor, is accompanying Kejriwal.
During his more than 30-hour protest, Kejriwal and his cabinet colleagues slept in the open outside Rail Bhavan. Kejriwal was running mild fever on Tuesday also.
The Delhi chief minister's dharna in the heart of the national capital came to an end last night after two police officers were sent on leave under a neat compromise with the Centre over his demand for suspension of five officials for alleged dereliction of duty.
The protest in the high-security Raisina Hill area ended following an assurance from the lt governor Najeeb Jung.
Kejriwal, who had on Monday slept last night on the road and held cabinet meetings with his colleagues in his car, announced that he was calling off the protest following the "victory" achieved by the people of Delhi.
Delhi Police file FIR in connection with AAP protest
Delhi Police has registered an FIR against unknown persons in connection with chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's dharna outside Rail Bhavan here that witnessed many violent scuffles in the high-security area where prohibitory orders were in place.
The case was registered at Parliament Street Police Station last night under section 186 (obstructing public servant in discharge of duty) and section 333(voluntarily causing grievous hurt to deter public servant from duty) of IPC, police sources said.
The two-day dharna by Kejriwal witnessed several altercations between police and AAP workers and at least 31 people, including policemen and media personnel, were injured.
"The cases registered in connection with the agitation on January 20th and 21st in the area of Parliament Street Police Station will be investigated on merit," a statement released by Delhi Police said.
Kejriwal's dharna in the heart of the capital came to an abrupt end last night after two police officers were sent on leave under a neat compromise with the Centre over his demand for suspension of five officials for alleged dereliction of duty.
The over 30-hour protest outside Rail Bhavan in the Raisina Hill area that virtually morphed into a demand for control over Delhi Police and threatened to disrupt the Republic Day celebrations on Sunday ended following an assurance from the Lt Governor Najeeb Jung.
Kejriwal announced that he was calling off the protest following the "victory" achieved by the people of Delhi.
Under the compromise, the SHO of Malviya Nagar, who refused to raid an alleged drug and prostitution ring on the orders of Delhi law minister Somnath Bharti, and PCR van in-charge of Paharganj, where a Danish woman was gang-raped last week, were sent on leave, paving the way for an end to the confrontation with the Centre.
