The Delhi High Court on Tuesday reserved its verdict on Arvind Kejriwal's petition challenging his arrest and subsequent remand to the ED in the case till March 28 after hearing both the sides.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) told the Court that Kejriwal cannot cite the upcoming Lok Sabha elections or his position as CM to claim any special exception in the money laundering case against him, reports the Bar and Bench.
Additional Solicitor General (ASG) SV Raju, appearing for ED, said "Aam aadmi has to go behind bars if he has committed a crime but because you are a Chief Minister you can't be arrested? You will loot the country but no one can touch you because the elections are coming?".
In response to Kejriwal's argument that the arrest was politically motivated in view of the Lok Sabha elections, the ASG said,
"Take a case of terrorist who is also a politician. He blows up army vehicle and says I want to contest elections so you can't touch me? What kind of argument is this," the ASG asked.
