Arvind Kejriwal's Challenge To ED Arrest : Live Updates From Delhi High Court Hearing

Raju: Please have a look at my remand application and the order passed by the court.

Raju: No dispute that he was produced before court within 24 hours. Also not in dispute that he was furnished grounds of arrest.

Raju: There is a prima facie case of money laundering. Many accused found guilty of money laundering for the purpose of denying them bail. Today we are not to cross stage of section 45 PMLA because this is not a bail application. 

Raju: Whether statement is to believed or not is a matter of trial.

Raju: Take the case of a terrorist who i s a politician who has blown up an army vehicle. But he says I've to stand in the elections, you can't touch me. What kind of an argument is this?

Raju: Aam aadmi has to go behind bars but I am the chief minister, I can't go to jail. Therefore, I'll loot the country, make money, take kickbacks but don't touch me. Why? Because it's before elections, basic structure is violated. What kind of basic structure is this!

Raju: Supposing a political person commits murder two days before elections. This means he can't be arrested? Basic structure comes into play? Criminals are supposed to be arrested and put in jail. In such cases there is no infringement of basic structure. I commit murder or rape but I can't be arrested before elections. What kind of argument is this. This is a bogus argument. Bogus argument. Has to be rejected on the asking.

Raju: Your lordships are aware that there are large number of cases where the dead body is not found. But there are prosecutions and even convictions. That doesn't mean there is no murder.

Raju: Finding of the actual proceeds of crime is irrelevant if we make out a case that you were involved in money laundering. The argument is mere Ghar se toh kuch nahi Mila. lekin aapne kisi aur ko dediya toh kaha se milega aapke ghar me se. He is actually involved and he is vicariously involved.

Raju: It's not that ED has become active only now. ED has been active from many years. Please see, ED also has constraints. Large no of digital devices destroyed. And crores in value. You don't change your mobiles or destroy mobiles periodically. You act through a middleman so that you don't come in picture. Vijay Nair comes in. And the attitude is, I didn't do anything. You've done it very tactically but we unearthed it despite hurdles.
