September 19, 2019 15:35

Former finance minister P Chidambaram's judicial custody has been extended till October 3. Chidambaram was produced in a Delhi court today on the expiry of his 14-day judicial custody in connection with the INX Media corruption case.

The CBI had sought extension of the veteran Congress leader's judicial remand before Special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for Chidambaram, opposed the investigative agency's plea to extend his judicial custody. Sibal moved an application on behalf of Chidambaram seeking regular medical checkup and adequate supplementary diet during judicial custody in Tihar Jail.

He said that the 73-year old Congress leader is suffering from various ailments and has lost weight during the custody, to which he was sent on September 5.
