 Karti Chidambaram was brought today to the Byculla prison in Mumbai to be confronted with Indrani Mukerjea as part of the CBI's probe into the INX Media case. According to a senior official, a six-member team of the CBI brought Karti Chidambaram, the son of senior Congress leader and former Union minister P Chidambaram, to the prison in Central Mumbai, where former Director of INX Media (P) Ltd Indrani Mukherjee is lodged in connection with the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora. After confrontation with Indrani, the CBI team is also expected to bring Karti face-to-face with Indrani's husband and former media baron Peter Mukerjea. Karti was arrested on Wednesday from Chennai Airport on his return from the United Kingdom, in connection with the FIR lodged on May 15 last year. The FIR alleged irregularities in Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance to INX Media for receiving overseas funds worth about 305 crore rupees in 2007 when Karti's father was the union finance minister. The fresh evidence in the case, which triggered Karti's arrest, was based on the statement of Indrani, who recorded it under section 164 of CrPC before a magistrate on February 17.
