Arvind Kejriwal's Challenge To ED Arrest : Live Updates From Supreme Court

Singhvi reads Arvind's statement of December 7

Singhvi: At highest, he is predicate offense of bribery. Can't involve Section 3

Singhvi: Last chap is Arvind. Buchi is at most hearsay. Arvind alleges nothing about Kejriwal's role in proceeds of crime. Cannot be said to be implicating Kejriwal. How much does this have to do with Section 3?

Singhvi: it is accepted Sarath has accepted Electoral Bonds

Next, he comes to Buchi Babu

Singhvi: Complete hearsay. Cannot be relevant.

Singhvi: Mr Raju says I am not reading in vast detail...I am not required to...

Singhvi: Vijay nair on behalf of kejriwal receives kickbacks? how is there projection, use under Section 3? Nair was arrested in Nov 2022, and I am arrested in March 2024...no explanation for not arresting during this time

Singhvi: there is nothing that can be called evidence. nothing about me directly. he associates me to Vijay Nair. as if Nair and Kejriwal are alter ego.

J Khanna to Raju: that we may ask you. In sanjay singh, this question was not there

Singhvi: the higher threshold...whole concept turns overturned

Singhvi reads Sarath Reddy's statement

Singhvi: No specificity, or date, no address. This at most does not say Kejriwal said give me money. This is innuendo. Where is section 3 here?

Singhvi: Sarath makes a far improved statement from earlier statement...

J Datta: they are part of the record?

Singhvi: No, that's my complaint!

Singhvi: ED could have said we don't rely on these statements. It is not to decide whether statement is relevant. There is admission of concealment!
