INX Media case: CBI court reserves order on Chidambaram's remand for 30 mins

New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has reserved its order on former Union Home and Finance Minister P Chidambaram's remand for 30 minutes after the probe agency sought for a five-day custody of the senior Congress leader, media reports said.

After the lawyers spoke, Chidambaram was also allowed to speak in the court.

The CBI produced Chidambaram in the court on Thursday.

Ringing the curtains down to day-long drama that reached a high point when the federal probe agency sleuths scaled the walls of P Chidambaram's house, the CBI on Wednesday night arrested the former Union Finance Minister and senior Congress leader for irregularities in the INX Media case after the Supreme Court refused to hear his bail plea on an urgent basis.

In an unprecedented development, a team of CBI reached the Jor Bagh residence of the senior politician, thumped at the gate and then scaled the wall of his house to enter inside the residence right after he left the Congress headquarters on Wednesday evening following a press conference.

After taking the senior politician into custody, the CBI team drove to the headquarters along with him. Chidambaram spent the entire night at the CBI headquarters.
