New Delhi, Sep 6 (UNI) As former Union Minister P Chidambaram spent a second day in judicial custody, a group of Congress leaders on Friday, were not permitted to meet him in Tihar jail.

Congress leaders Mukul Wanik, PC Chacko, Manicka Tagore and Avinash Pandey, who had gone to Tihar jail could not meet the senior party leader as the allotted time to meet him was over.

A CBI court, on Thursday, sent Chidambaram to judicial custody for 14 days in the INX Media case, and the police had taken him to Tihar jail in the evening.

According to leaders, they went to jail to meet Chidambaram after Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi instructed as a show of support to the former Minister.

Chidambaram, a Z-level protectee, is lodged in Tihar jail number seven, in the prison complex.

On Thursday the court had granted special facilities including separate cell, western-style toilet, his spectacles, medicine and security.
