ED officials visited Tihar jail to interrogate former Union finance minister P Chidambaram in connection with INX Media money laundering case. A special court had yesterday granted permission to the ED to question Chidambaram and confront him with documents in jail on November 22 and 23. The ED had arrested Chidambaram last month and he is currently lodged in judicial custody in Tihar jail.

The SC issued a notice to the ED on the bail plea of senior Congress-leader P Chidambaram in the INX Media money-laundering case. Chidambaram had approached the Supreme Court challenging the judgment of the Delhi HC denying him bail in the money-laundering-case lodged by the ED. The probe-agency has been asked to file a reply by Monday. The next date of hearing is November-26.

A team of ED officials on Wednesday reached the Tihar Jail to question former Union finance minister P Chidambaram in the INX Media money laundering case, officials said. They said the Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigating team is following the procedure after a local court on Tuesday allowed the central agency to interrogate the senior Congress leader in this case.
