Karti Chidambaram, who was arrested last week in connection, with the INX Media case, struck a pose after coming out of the Byculla Police station where he confronted Indrani Mukherjea.

Walking out of jail, DNA lensman Salman Ansari caught Karti, the son of former Finance Minister P Chidambaram raising his hand and clenching it in a fist, as if he had won this round.

He walked like this and sat in his car, but emerged once again from his vehicle to pump his hand up in victory.

Earlier, Karti said that the allegations against him were politically motivated.

"All allegations against me are false and politically motivated," he told reporters while being brought back to Delhi from Mumbai by CBI.

Indrani Mukerjea, whom Karti met in Mumbai, is a former Director of INX Media (P) Ltd, is lodged in the jail in connection with the Sheena Bora murder case.

A six-member team of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) brought Karti Chidambaram to the prison in Central Mumbai this morning.

After confrontation with Indrani Mukerjea, the CBI team is also expected to bring Karti Chidambaram face-to-face with her husband and former media baron Peter Mukerjea, he added.

Karti was arrested by CBI after the confessional statement of Mukerjea in the case on February 28.

He was sent to five-day CBI custody on March 1.

Karti was arrested at Chennai Airport on his return from the United Kingdom, in connection with the FIR lodged on May 15 last year alleging irregularities in Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance to INX Media for receiving overseas funds worth about Rs 305 crore in 2007 when his father was the union finance minister.

The fresh evidence in the case, which triggered Karti's arrest, was based on the statement of Indrani Mukerjea, who recorded it under section 164 of CrPC before a magistrate on February 17.
