He was held from his residence after making surprise appearance at press meet
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday arrested former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram soon after he held a press conference at the Congress headquarters refuting all charges against him in the INX Media case.
“He has been arrested on an arrest warrant issued by a competent court,” said CBI spokesperson Nitin Wakankar.
After his arrest, doctors from the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital conducted a medical examination on him at the CBI headquarters, sources said.
Mr. Chidambaram has been kept in suite No. 5 of the CBI Guest House on the ground floor of the agency headquarters, they said.
He will be produced before a special CBI court on Thursday, where the agency will seek his remand.
Earlier, high drama unfolded outside Mr. Chidambaram’s residence following his arrival after the press conference around 8.15 p.m.
