In another setback for former finance minister P Chidambaram, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has obtained production warrant from the special court of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) for his custodial interrogation in the INX Media case.

The Special Judge on Friday issued a warrant following ED plea seeking Chidambaram’s custody, and ordered that the former minister be produced in the court on October 14. The former minister is in Tihar in connection with a corruption case filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).  

Production warrant is issued if an accused in a trial or a witness is already in prison.
