INX Media case: Chidambaram remanded in CBI custody for four more days

The CBI Special Court has remanded former Finance Minister P Chidambaram for four more days in police custody till August 30.

In its submission to the court, the CBI on Monday said that the investigation could not be completed and that Chidambaram has been confronted with one of the co-accused in the INX Media case.

The CBI officially did not name the co-accused Chidambaram was confronted with but said that he will be confronted with other co-accused in the INX Media case.

Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court was hearing arguments in a case challenging the Delhi High Court order refusing to grant anticipatory bail plea to Chidambaram against CBI arrest. There was controversy during the hearing over a leaked affidavit in which ED has claimed that Chidambaram distanced himself from the fraud by opening shell companies.
