been arrested, but he had no answer.

"I have requested my family to tweet on my behalf the following:- People have asked me 'If the dozen officers who processed and recommended the case to you have not been arrested, why have you been arrested? Only because you have put the last signature?'" the tweet from Chidambaram's official Twitter handle said. "I have no answer," he said. "No officer has done anything wrong. I do not want anyone to be arrested," Chidambaram said in another tweet.
