P Chidambaram spends night at CBI HQ which he inaugurated

New Delhi: Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram was arrested on Wednesday night by the CBI, following which he was taken to its headquarter in Delhi's Lodhi Road area.

When Chidambaram was a former Union Minister in 2011, he participated in the inauguration of the same CBI headquarter where he had to spend the night after being arrested on Wednesday night.

Chidambaram, who served as the Union Home Minister during November 2008 to July 2012 in the UPA government, was one of the key guests at the inauguration event of the CBI headquarters, held on June 30, 2011.

The Congress leader was taken to the same headquarter after CBI officials arrested him after a dramatic turn of events. CBI sleuths scaled the boundary walls of Chidambaram's residence in Jor Bagh on Wednesday night to arrest him in connection with the INX Media case.

CBI, which had earlier issued a lookout notice against P Chidambaram, finally arrested the leader after he made a dramatic appearance at the Congress headquarters in Delhi and addressed a press conference in which he denied all charges levelled against him and his son Karti Chidambaram in the INX Media case.
