INX Media case: ED to seek 14-day custody of P Chidambaram

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the court on Thursday will seek a 14-day custody of former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram who was interrogated and arrested by the probe agency a day ago in the case related to INX Media, media reports said.

The ED interrogated Chidambaram in Tihar jail where the Congress leader is lodged for more than a month after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had arrested him in connection with the same case.

The ED is probing the money-laundering angle of the case.

Chidambaram was arrested by the CBI on Aug 21 for allegedly committing corruption by facilitating a huge flow of foreign funds to INX media when he was the finance minister. He was sent to Tihar jail on Sept 5.

The CBI has also laid allegations on Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram for receiving huge kickbacks for facilitating the deal.
