Appearing for Sisodia, Senior Advocate Dayan Krishnan argued that the CBI’s grounds for remand were not tenable in law and that the arguments about profit margin were approved by Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, the complainant.
On the allegation that Sisodia destroyed three of his four phones, he questioned if Sisodia was supposed to keep the phones in anticipation of the agency’s arrest. He said,
“They say Sisodia used four phones, three of which are destroyed? What am I supposed to do? Keep those phones in anticipation that agency will come and arrest me?”
Further, he contended that the CBI’s case was based on the fact that Sisodia did not answer question in the manner they wanted him to answer, which was not a valid ground for remand. He also argued that if the court granted remand based on self-incrimination, it would be a travesty.
