Watch my full debate on latest developments in Chidambaram's case in 'Face Off' with Zakka Jacob on CNN News 18 here :


Imagine this. FIR is filed against you. You are under investigation. You are not even an under-trial because no  charges have been framed against you yet you are sent to Tihar. This is unfortunately the condition of our legal system. Whether you are guilty or now doesn't matter. Even during investigation you can be kept with those who are held guilty of heinous crimes. We are debating this because its Mr. Chidambaram this time but imagine the plight of thousands of such persons. There should be temporary confinement for those under investigation but not Tihar! In this case, CBI didn't find anything for more than 11 years and now has spurred into action on the basis of the statements of Indrani Mukherjee who herself is in jail for the murder of her own. We should punish people when they are pronounced guilty not before it.
