A Delhi court on Wednesday extended the judicial custody of former finance minister P. Chidambaram till December 11 in connection with the INX Media money-laundering case lodged by the Enforcement Directorate.

Special judge Ajay Kumar Kuhar passed the order after the ED sought extension of Chidambaram's judicial custody by 14 days, saying probe is on.

The counsel for the 74-year old senior Congress leader did not oppose the ED's plea. Chidambaram has been in police custody since August 21 when he was arrested by the CBI in a corruption case in the INX Media matter.
