A special CBI court in Delhi extending Karti Chidambaram's CBI custody till March 12 during which he will be confronted with his chartered accountant S Bhaskararaman.
A special Delhi CBI court today granted the CBI three more days to interrogate Karti Chidamabaram, son of senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, who has been in the CBI custody since February 28 in connection with the INX Media corruption case.
The court said that if the trial court decides to grant bail to Karti in the CBI case, then it may impose conditions such as the accused shall appear before the ED as and when called for the investigation and cooperate in the probe.
Karti Chidambaram, who is presently in CBI custody in the INX Media case, moved the high court in pursuance of the Supreme Court direction passed earlier in the day.
The investigative agency is leaving no stone unturned in exposing the entire conspiracy and even hinted at "new revealations" in the case.
The Enforcement Directorate is believed to have found details of the transfer, which was made by Karti from his account in the Chennai branch of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). The alleged transfer was made between 2006 to 2009.
The CBI said "new revelations" have come up and his custodial interrogation was necessary to confront him with the "new facts".
Karti Chidambaram had sought quashing of the ED's summons against him in the INX Media corruption case.
In his fresh writ petition, Karti Chidambaram has challenged the summons on the ground that the ED has no jurisdiction to issue such notices based on the FIR lodged by the CBI.
A special Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) six-member team brought the 46-year-old Karti Chidambaram from New Delhi to Mumbai this morning and took him to the Byculla Women's Jail, where Indrani Mukerjea is lodged.
A Delhi court on Saturday allowed custodial interrogation of Karti by the CBI for five days, saying there was a need to unearth the larger conspiracy in the INX Media case.
Earlier, a Delhi court gave the CBI custody of former Finance Minister P Chidambaram's son for questioning till March 6 in connection with the case.
Karti Chidambaram, arrested in the INX Media case, was today remanded to five days of CBI custody by a Delhi court.
In her statement recorded by the CBI under Section 164 of the CrPC, Indrani alleged that P Chidambaram had asked her and her husband Peter to help his son’s business.
