Karti Chidambaram, son of former finance minister P Chidambaram, on Wednesday appeared before the CBI in regard to a corruption case. Karti was directed by the Supreme Court to appear for questioning before the CBI.
The agency wants to examine him in connection with a Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance given to media group INX Media for receiving funds from Mauritius when his father P Chidambaram was the Union Finance Minister.
It is alleged that a firm "indirectly controlled" by him received money from INX Media, run by Indrani and Peter Mukerjea.
