INX Media case: Court takes cognizance of ED case, summons Chidambaram, son

A Delhi court on Wednesday took cognizance of an Enforcement Directorate chargesheet in the INX Media case filed against Congress leader and former Union Minister P Chidambaram, his son Karti and eight others.

Special Judge NK Nagpal has summoned all the accused, including Peter Mukherjea and six companies, on April 7.

In May 2017, the CBI registered an FIR alleging irregularities in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance granted to the INX Media group for receiving overseas funds worth Rs 305 crore in 2007 when Chidambaram was Finance Minister. The ED later lodged a money laundering case in the matter.
