ASG Singh and Maneshinde are exchanging words on making bail arguments and citing judgements during the custody hearing. 

Maneshinde says that the SC judgement will show that contraband was recovered from the car in that case.

ASG Singh - So what? Here, it is recovered from the ship.

Maneshinde- The ship is not mine. You should have arrested the 1000 on the ship then.

ASG Singh - I can show his involvement from other circumstances.

ASG Singh - Just because he was not found in possession doesn't make him innocent, the SC recently said. We are at the stage of remand. Everything will have to be investigated.

In two days, do you want me to complete the investigation? 

Court - What are you going to prove by the said chats?

ASG Singh - To show it's not what they argued. The person who is in regular contact...You had gone in the ship and gone with people who were found in possession. 

ASG Singh - The courts have not said chats cannot be used to refuse custody.

Hands over a copy of the chats.

There are some chats about payments not been made, code words are used, there are chats about bulk purchases. Some are from July 2020.
