Additional Solicitor General KM Natraj told the court that there is a reason to believe that Shivakumar is guilty of laundering money and his custodial interrogation is required to confront him with documents. Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing Shivakumar, strongly opposed the remand application of the agency and said that a bail application has been moved on his behalf. A money laundering case was registered by the agency against him in September last year, based on a complaint filed by the Income Tax Department.
