Karti in 3-day CBI custody

By The Assam Tribune

NEW DELHI, March 6 - Karti Chidambaram, the son of senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, will undergo three more days of custodial interrogation in the INX Media corruption case with a Delhi court today extending his CBI custody.

The agency, which produced Karti Chidambaram before special judge Sunil Rana after his five-day police custody expired, said an extension was needed as there were �new revelations�. Further custodial interrogation was necessary to confront him with �new facts�, it added.

Though there was �substantial progress� in the last four days of investigation into the case, he �had not been cooperating� and not disclosing passwords to his phones, it said.

His answer to every question was, �I am politically victimised�, the agency added.

The agency also alleged that witnesses in the case were being approached and evidences destroyed.

The CBI, which had sought nine days of police custody of Karti Chidambaram, said he was taken to Mumbai and confronted with Indrani Mukerjea, one of the then promoters of INX Media, at the Byculla prison and her statement was just one of the evidences. � PTI
