Former Union minister P. Chidambaram was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) from his New Delhi residence on Wednesday night, about an hour after the senior Congress leader addressed reporters at the party office.
.
With Chidambaram returning to his residence immediately after the press briefing, the CBI team reached his Jor Bagh home, entering the house by scaling the compound walls.
.
Mr Chidambaram faces arrest in what is dubbed the "INX Media case", in which he is accused of facilitating foreign investment in a media company as Finance Minister in the Congress-led UPA government at the instance of his son Karti, who allegedly received kickbacks for his role.
