Former Union finance minister P Chidambaram has filed a rejoinder before the Delhi High Court (HC) in response to a reply filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) challenging his regular bail plea in the INX Media money laundering case.
In the rejoinder, Chidambaram contended that he was granted bail in the same case which is being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Chidambaram further said that no part of the triple test, which includes flight risk, influencing witnesses and tampering with evidence, has been made out by the agency to deny him the bail. He asserted that no details have been given by the ED regarding the witness tampering by him.
The rejoinder has submitted ‘Fifteen days of police custody has already been served by Chidambaram and no ground is made out for further investigation’.
