In a setback to former finance minister P Chidambaram, a special CBI court on Thursday sent him to Tihar Jail in judicial custody till September 19 in the INX Media corruption case.
“The allegations against the accused were found serious. Therefore, he was remanded to police custody. The investigation is still in progress. The CBI has apprehension that because of his status and position, the investigation may be hampered by the accused. It is not a case where the accused can be ‘released’ at the stage of considering his extension of remand,” special CBI judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar said.
