P Chidambaram turned 74 years old on Monday inside Delhi’s Tihar Jail and his son Karti Chidambaram wrote a letter to the former finance minister slamming the Centre “for being extremely imaginative and creative in the face of bad news”.

The senior Congress leader was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the INX Media case on August 21 and he spent 14 days in the agency’s custody before being sent to Tihar Jail. The former Union finance minister, who was born in 1945 in Kanadukathan of Tamil Nadu’s Sivaganga district, will be under judicial custody till September 19.

P Chidambaram had moved the Delhi High Court on September 12 for regular bail in the CBI case. The high court had told the agency to produce its status report in this case within seven days and listed the next hearing on September 23.
