NEW DELHI: Congress leader P Chidambaram today rushed to a trial court and the Delhi High Court seeking protection from arrest in corruption cases relating to the Aircel Maxis deal and the INX Media, in which he has been asked by probe agencies to join investigations.
In both Aircel-Maxis deal of Rs 3,500 crore and INX Media case involving Rs 305 crore, Chidambaram’s role has come under the scanner of the investigating agencies as during his tenure as Finance Minister in the UPA-1 regime, FIPB clearance was granted to the two ventures in which alleged irregularities have been found.
A case of alleged money laundering was being probed in the Aircel-Maxis deal in which Enforcement Directorate had summoned Chidambaram for questioning today and the CBI has slapped a notice on him to join the probe in the INX Media case tomorrow. (AGENCIES)
