"Preposterous to say prosecution of Chidambaram is baseless, politically motivated and act of vendetta," said the Delhi High Court during hearing on the Congress leader's bail plea. "It is a classic case of money laundering. The twin factors which have weighed to deny pre arrest bail to Petitioner are gravity of offense and evasive replies of the Petitioner to questions put to him while he was under protective cover. Gravity of offence committed in this case justify denial of pre arrest bail."
