Michel's lawyers argued that the ED had leaked the chargesheet to the media even before the court could take cognisance of the same. The ED said that a notice should be issued to a television channel for displaying the chargesheet on Thursday night. The court however refused to issue notice.

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Michel had named senior Congress leaders including the Gandhi family. He said that Michel claimed to have paid money to one AP and FAM. He went on to allege that AP stood for Ahmed Patel, while FAM stood for family.
