The Central Bureau of India on Wednesday morning Karti Chidambaram, son of former finance minister P Chidambaram in connection with the INX Media case from Chennai, according to TV reports. The arrest was made as Karti was reportedly not cooperating with the investigating agencies. 

A Delhi court on Monday had sent Karti Chidambaram's chartered accountant S Bhaskararaman to 14-day judicial custody.

Special judge N K Malhotra sent the chartered accountant (CA) to Tihar Jail after he was produced from the custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), whose special public prosecutor Nitesh Rana had sought three more days of custodial interrogation.

Bhaskararaman was arrested from a five-star hotel in Delhi on February 16.

Karti's name had cropped up in the case which relates to Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approval granted in 2007 for receipt of funds by INX Media when his father and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram was the Union finance minister during the previous UPA regime.
