INX Media case: Karti Chidambaram’s custody necessary to unearth larger conspiracy, says Delhi court

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) brought Karti Chidambaram, son of former Union Minister P Chidambaram, to Byculla Jail in Mumbai to question him there along with Indrani Mukerjea, who is accused of murdering her daughter Sheena Bora, in connection with the alleged charges of corruption in the INX Media deal.

Karti Chidambaram was arrested earlier this week by the CBI for alleged corruption in the INX Media deal. According to sources, Karti who was earlier in the day brought by an Air India flight was taken directly to the Byculla Jail in South Mumbai. A team of around six-CBI personnel escorted Karti to Byculla jail. The team reached Byculla jail by 11 am.

Sources added that Indrani, who is lodged on the first floor of the Byculla women’s jail, was taken to a separate room where the two were questioned together. The questioning ended at 3.20 pm following which the CBI left for Delhi.

Before boarding a flight to Delhi, Karti spoke to the press and said that he was innocent. “I am innocent,” he shouted out when the media contingent stationed at the airport reached out to him for a reaction. Before Karti could speak any further, he was whisked away by the local police.

“Karti was interrogated along with Indrani Mukerjea, former co-owner of INX Media who is lodged at the Byculla jail in connection with the murder of her daughter, Sheena Bora,” sources said.

The investigation agencies had arrested Karti Chidambaram following a statement by accused Indrani Mukerjea in which she had alleged that P Chidambaram, while he was Union Finance Minister, had asked her and her husband Peter Mukerjea to help his son’s business. In her statement recorded by the CBI under Section 164 of the CrPC, Indrani Mukerjea, alleged that a deal of USD 1 million was struck between Karti and the Mukerjeas to swing FIPB approval in favour of INX Media. According to CBI and ED, Indrani and Peter have said in their statements that they met P Chidambaram at his North Block office in connection with the FIPB approval for FDI in INX Media.

Additional Director General of Police (Prisons), Maharashtra Police, Bhushan Kumar Upadhyay confirmed that Karti was brought to Byculla Jail for investigation. “A court has granted the CBI the permission to interrogate Karti with an accused lodged at Byculla jail and we are following the order,” Upadhyay told The Indian Express.

Chidu approved the 80/20 scheme of importing gold and precious stones in favor of Nirav Modi and others, just before Namo sarkar took over at the center after BJP victory in May 2014. Was Chidu part of of the loot of PNB by Nirav Modi others?

The wife of the lawyer acting for Karti Chidambaram bought jewelry from Nirav Modi and paid most of the purchase price in cash(6 crore rupees). I wonder whether this was a hawala transaction rather than purchase of jewlry.

The Congress(I), the wholly owned outfit of Fake Italian Gandhis, along with its chamchas like Chidu have done maximum damage to Bharat Mata. I would not be too surprised if the Congress(I) loot of Mother India exceeds the loot by the British during their rule.

His father was running to avoid Media in Delhi during court proceedings, He is now writing article in this paid media masking his misdeeds with his son, what credibility he has ( I know he is thick skinned and soaked in corrputio) to wrtie about Governance when his own UPA was enocuraging all scams and looting the country using him as the henchman, otherwise he would not have been the key finance portfolio by dynasty, he has cut to the dynasty. He should be banned from writing till his/his son are cleared of money laundering and other charges. oh it i wishful thinking, paid media gets money from these looters and it will never stop
