New Delhi, October 11

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today moved a Delhi court seeking custodial interrogation of senior Congress leader and former Finance Minister P Chidambaram in the INX Media money laundering case.

Chidambaram is in Tihar jail in connection with the INX Media corruption case lodged by the CBI and will be produced before Special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar on October 14 following the production warrant issued against him on the ED’s plea.

Taking note of the plea, argued by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and special public prosecutor Amit Mahajan, the special court issued the warrant directing Tihar jail authorities to produce Chidambarm before it at 3 pm on Monday, when the probe agency can formally arrest and quiz him in custody.

The development assumes significance as Chidambaram has been denied bail by the Delhi HC and the SC in the case filed by the ED. — PTI
