INX Media case: P Chidambaram sent to CBI custody for one day, court to hear interim bail plea Tuesday

NEW DELHI: A Delhi Court Monday extended the CBI custody of former finance minister P Chidambaram by one day in the INX Media corruption case. Special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar will hear on Tuesday the interim bail plea of Congress leader Chidambaram.

Chidambaram, 73, was produced before the court on the expiry of his three-day CBI custody which was granted on August 30.

The CBI opposed any relief to Chidambaram in the case and sought extension of his custodial interrogation by one day.
