INX Media Case: CBI Special Court's Decision On Chidambaram

 The CBI, which registered a case in May 2017 of alleged irregularities in the FIPB clearance to INX Media for receiving overseas funds of Rs 305 crore in 2007 when P. Chidambaram was the Finance Minister in the UPA-1 government, got a much-needed shot in the arm after recording the statement of jailed media baron and co-accused Indrani Mukerjea last year.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which has been investigating the alleged irregularities in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance to the INX media case, was unable to make a watertight case despite arresting Chidambaram's son Karti Chidambaram in February 2018.
