Meanwhile, arguing on behalf of the ED, ASG SV Raju said that Ayyub has been involved in a serious crime involving an amount of more than Rs 1 crore and there is an apprehension that she will not return to India.

Ed's lawyer said in the High Court, "Look at Job's conduct. Even after repeated summons, the documents were not given. Fake bills have been provided. According to us, prima facie there is a case of fraud. Part of the cooperation is missing and presence in front of the agency, not cooperation. The court said, "If a person is appearing before the agency and the agency says that the person is appearing, but he is not cooperating, then what is the scale of showing it?" If there is non-cooperation, why don't you arrest her?"' To this, the judge said that at this stage, he is only investigating the LOC and whether the woman can be allowed to go abroad or not and the court is not considering the merits and demerits of the case. Rana Ayyub was detained by the Bureau of Immigration at the Mumbai airport on March 29 when she was on her way to London to attend some journalism-related events.
