New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate on Monday approached Delhi's Patiala House court seeking cancellation of interim protection granted to Karti Chidambaram in connection with the Aircel-Maxis case, and said that latter was trying to derail the investigation

ED also accused Karti of not cooperating in the investigation, and showing "irritation" and sometimes even "anger" during interrogation, which was one of the conditions on which he was granted interim bail.

Karti has also been blamed by the agency for giving "tailor-made responses" to their questions - hence custodial interrogation was sought.

The hearing will be held at 2 pm at Delhi's Patiala High Court.
