INX Media case: Court extends Chidambaram’s judicial custody till October 17

A Delhi court on Thursday further extended the judicial custody of former finance minister P. Chidambaram to October 17, noting that the investigation in the INX Media case is still pending.

Special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar sent the veteran Congress leader to jail after the CBI said that the Delhi High Court has dismissed his bail plea and sought extension of his judicial custody.

“The investigation is still pending. It is informed that the bail application of the accused has been dismissed by the Delhi High Court on September 30. Considering the facts mentioned in the application and that there is no change in the circumstances as noted in the earlier orders, the judicial remand of the accused is extended till October 17,” the judge said.
