The CBI had sought an extension of Chidambaram's custody by five days from the Rouse Avenue Court. CBI has told the court that Chidambaram is not cooperating with the interrogation and is changing his statements every time.
The CBI had said in the court that he should be confronted with other accused. Chidambaram's lawyer said he had been asked 400 questions. The court told the CBI that why do you ask for 5 days of custodial every time, why don't you ask for 15 days of arrest. Actually, P. Chidambaram was presented before Special Judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar in Rouse Avenue Court on Friday.
