CBI Got Peter Mukerjea's custody for five days in the INX Media case,May Bring Face to Face with Karti Chidambaram
The CBI had, on Tuesday, moved a petition before the special CBI court conducting the trial in the murder case and said that the central agency needed to interrogate Mukerjea in the INX Media case registered at New Delhi.
Former media baron Peter Mukerjea was produced in Delhi's Patiala House Court in connection with the INX media corruption case on Monday. Mukerjea was produced before a Delhi court earlier today. It is also trying to seek a way to confront, Peter, Karti Chidambaram and others who have been involved in the case.
The court also said that in the full investigation of the CBI so far, no government employee has been identified nor anyone has been arrested for irregularities in the INX media case. "The Mumbai court has allowed the warrant, so he will be taken to Delhi between March 26 and April 3", a CBI officer was quoted by PTI. While being escorted from the Byculla jail premises to the CBI vehicle, Karti too was seen fist-pumping in the air. He now can not be arrested until March 26 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
As per reports by ANI, Mukerjea-owned INX Media Ltd had allegedly paid bribes to get a Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approval which was facilitated by former finance minister P. Chidambaram's son Karti Chidambaram.
