NEW DELHI: Police arrested former Indian finance minister P Chidambaram late on Wednesday in relation to alleged corruption and money laundering, a day after the Delhi High Court rejected his application to seek exemption from arrest.

Officials have also alleged Chidambaram was involved in money laundering and conspired around the approval of a telecommunications deal in 2006.Chidambaram, who served twice as finance minister in the previous Congress party-led coalition that ran India for a decade, has approached India's top court seeking to appeal the High Court ruling rejecting his application to prevent an arrest.

He was then taken away in a car that his party supporters tried to stop briefly, local media reported.
