Mumbai: Indrani Mukerjea’s plea to turn approver in the INX Media corruption case involving former finance minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti Chidambaram was on Thursday accepted by a Delhi court. The next date of hearing in the case is July 11.
Indrani Mukerjea is currently in Mumbai’s Byculla Jail awaiting trial for the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora.
In May the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said it had no objection to Indrani Mukherjee’s application.
The Enforcement Directorate and the CBI are investigating how Karti Chidambaram managed to secure clearance from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) for INX Media to get 305 crores in overseas funds when they only had clearance for 4 crores. Chidambaram was Finance Minister at the time.
