The CBI had filed a case against Karti Chidambaram after the Enforcement Directorate alleged irregularities in granting foreign direct investment clearance to a media company called INX Media. He is accused of receiving kickbacks for facilitating the deal.
The Congress Party has alleged that this is a political conspiracy targeting Chidambaram with the sole intention of keeping the Opposition in the backfoot as it braces for an attack from the opposition over the massive PNB loan fraud scandal.
