Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram who is currently in judicial custody in corruption and money laundering case was visited by Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Chidambaram has been accused of allegedly sanctioning illegal funds under the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) to INX Media when he was the Finance Minister in 2007.

Last week, Chidambaram' s plea to surrender before the court was rejected by the Delhi court after the ED asserted that it was important to have him for judicial custody so that they could dig out the necessary information and that the surrender will be accepted at an appropriate time.
