NEW DELHI: Karti Chidambaram, arrested in the INX Media case, was on Thursday remanded to five days of CBI custody by a Delhi court.
Special Judge Sunil Rana extended Karti's custody till March 6 after the CBI contended that there were "very shocking pieces of evidence" of what he had done when he went abroad and alleging "when he went abroad, he closed bank accounts in which funds were received".
Karti was produced before the court on expiry of one-day CBI custody amidst the presence of his parents P Chidambaram and Nalini Chidambaram, both senior advocates, and were seen talking to him. Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for CBI, maintained that this was "not a case of political vendetta" and the investigation was going on under Article 21 of the Constitution.
