Delhi court grants 5-day remand for his interrogation in the INX Media case
A Delhi court on Thursday remanded senior Congress leader and former Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram to the Central Bureau of Investigation’s custody for five days for interrogation in the INX Media case. He was arrested on Wednesday night.
The CBI sought his custody to unearth the “larger conspiracy”, stating that he had tremendous potential of not cooperating in the probe as he was highly intelligent.
Remanding him in custody till August 26, additional sessions judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar said, “It is impressed upon the investigating agency to ensure that the personal dignity of the accused is not violated in any manner.”
‘Remand justified’
“Considering all the facts and circumstances of the case as brought to the notice of the court, I am of the view that police custody remand of accused P. Chidambaram is justified,” the judge said in a 10-page order.
