ED’s gets Court Nod to Arrest, Interrogate P Chidambaram

New Delhi: A Delhi court on Tuesday allowed the Enforcement Directorate to interrogate former Finance Minister P Chidambaram and arrest him, if deemed necessary, in the money laundering case relating to INX Media.

The order was passed by special CBI Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar while dealing with the application filed by the Enforcement Directorate seeking permission to arrest the former Finance Minister.

“Application for arrest of accused is being treated as an application for interrogation in the present case and is being allowed accordingly,” the court ruled.

The court also turned down the application filed by Chidambaram challenging the order of the court by which the court had issued production warrant against him.

Chidambaram in his plea had stated that the production warrant issued on Friday for seeking his production for purposes of arrest and remand for investigation is “illegal and contrary to the rules laid down by the Delhi High Court”. (IANS)
