Mr Kejriwal was arrested last month - and has been sent to the national capital's Tihar Jail till April 15 - for his role as the "kingpin" in the alleged liquor policy scam.
During the arguments Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, representing the ED, issued a strong rejoinder to arguments about the timing of Mr Kejriwal's arrest, declaring "criminals are supposed to be arrested and put in jail". "Under-trial prisoners have no right to say, 'we will commit a crime and we will not be arrested because elections are here'. This is completely ridiculous," Mr Raju declared.
