Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram was on Thursday sent to the custody of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for four days by a Delhi court following his arrest for alleged corruption during his tenure as finance minister.
Ajay Kumar Kuhar, a special judge appointed to the case, allowed the CBI custody of Chidambaram until August 26. "Considering the facts and circumstances, I am of the view that police (CBI) custody is justified," Kuhar said.
Chidambaram, 73, can meet his lawyers and family for 30 minutes and he will be medically examined every 48 hours while in custody.
