INX Media case: Chidambaram tells court no allegation against him for influencing witnesses

Former finance minister P Chidambaram, arrested in the INX Media corruption case, told the Delhi High Court on Monday that there was no allegation against him about trying to influence anyone related to the matter since 2007.

Chidambaram denied the CBI claim that after being interrogated during the police custody, he is well acquainted with the fresh evidence and there is every possibility of him influencing the witnesses and tampering with the record.

Chidambaram, 74, arrested by the CBI on August 21 and in judicial custody, made the submission while seeking bail in the case

He was responding to the claims of the investigative agency which has opposed his plea.
