No evidence against Chidambaram in INX Media case: Sibal tells SC

Senior Congress leader and former finance minister P. Chidambaram on Wednesday said in the Supreme Court that he has been kept in jail “unfairly” for the last 98 days just because he is the father of Karti, a key accused in the INX Media money-laundering case, and there was not a “single evidence” linking him to it.

Chidambaram was first arrested by the CBI on August 21 in the INX Media case but was granted bail by the top court on October 22.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) re-arrested the veteran leader on October 16 in the consequential money-laundering case pertaining to routing of proceeds of crime of the INX Media case.
