INX Media received Rs 305 cr via FDI, not fraud: P Chidambaram to Delhi High Court
In the rejoinder, Chidambaram, who is facing probe in connection with INX Media case, denied that the case is a "clear betrayal of public trust at large"
Lawyers of P Chidambaram on Monday filed a rejoinder to the CBI reply over the former Union minister's bail petition in the Delhi High Court. In the rejoinder, Chidambaram, who is facing probe in connection with INX Media case, denied that the case is a "clear betrayal of public trust at large".
It further denies that cogent evidence incriminating Chidambaram in the present offence is already on record of the investigation. It also rejects the claim that a strong case against the accused has been made out by the CBI.
"It is denied that the accused, who held a very high and influential office of the finance minister of the country, used the same for personal gains as well as in connivance with his co-conspirators," reads the rejoinder. It also claimed that there has been no loss to the public exchequer.
