Arvind Kejriwal's counsel informed the Supreme Court that his arrest lacked legal basis, citing absence from official documents and no prior questioning. Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi emphasized the need to establish guilt, not mere suspicion, as per the anti-money laundering law. Kejriwal, currently in Tihar jail, challenges his arrest, arguing its political agenda. Refuting allegations of non-cooperation, his affidavit accuses the Central government of misusing investigative agencies for political gains. Despite summonses, Kejriwal's counsel maintains his absence was not grounds for arrest, as the Delhi Chief Minister contends his arrest is an abuse of power.
