Arvind Kejriwal's Remand Hearing, ED Seeks 10 Days Custody : Live Updates

Delhi Court remands Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to ED custody till March 28 in alleged liquor policy scam.

ED had sought 10 days of custody for Kejriwal.

Special CBI judge Kaveri Baweja passed the order.

Arvind Kejriwal has been remanded to 6 days of ED custody 

Court reserves order.

Chaudhary: Till yesterday their stand in the High Court was that he is not an accused, we are not calling him except in his individual capacity. The history would judge us poorly if we don't perform our duty diligently and I'm only performing mine.

Hossain for ED: Material was shown to court.

Raju: Nothing to show that the arrest is in contravention to Section 19. There is sufficient material that he is guilty of the offence prima facie. Sufficient material not only in his individual capacity but also vicariously. There are series of statements of large number of persons.

Raju: They cannot decide the necessity of arrest. When and how a person is to be arrested is the exclusive domain of the investigating officer.

Raju: Manish Sisodia is also arrested pursuant to further investigation.

Chaudhary: I'll have to start afresh the way he is going. It is unending. Let me have 5 minutes when he ends. Let him go on.

Raju: He's not arrested pursuant to summons. Even if he had come in individual conspiracy, he could have been arrested as a conspirator or under vicarious liability. Our case is he is also guilty individually because of his role. Ours is a dual case, he is liable individually and vicariously.

Raju: This is not something like figment of imagination. There is concrete evidence that it was a scam and fraud. That the excise policy was changed to fund the Goa elections.

Raju: In this case history of huge destruction of electronic evidence. Large number of phones destroyed and formatted by accused, making it very difficult for the investigating agency to investigate, still the investigating agency did a wonderful job to unearth.
