Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Kejriwal, today argued that when Kejriwal arrested, the material being cited now to defend the decision was not there.
“Every material in ground of arrest predates July, August 2023. All this evidence was in Sisodia case… so what was new in Arvind Kejriwal case … evidence is all prior to August 2023”
There was no material in the “ground of arrest” given to Kejriwal about the use of funds in Goa elections, the senior counsel said.
He was responding to the ED’s allegations that the alleged bribe money received in the excise policy case had been diverted for AAP’s election campaign in Goa.
“Entire charge is 100 crores.. August 2023 charge this is. This is old news.. March 2024 there was arrest… no money has been transferred,” Kejriwal’s counsel submitted.
