A day after the Enforcement Directorate’s seven-hour-long interrogation in Aircel-Maxis case, former Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Wednesday appeared beforethe CBI in connection with the INX Media bribery case. The interrogation at CBI headquarters went on for four hours with Chidambaram reiterating he was only signatory to the decisions vetted by senior Finance Ministry officials, said sources.
To questions on his interactions with co-accused and bribe givers Peter and Indrani Mukerjeas, Chidambaram gave an evasive reply. He was also evasive on the questions on Rs five crore bribe to his son Karti by INX Media promoters Peter and Indrani, sources claimed.
"Appeared before CBI, FIR contains no allegations against me. Questions and answers were based on the files of FIPB. Hence there was little to add to the record," Chidambaram said on Twitter.
Meanwhile, the ED has asked Chidambaram to appear again on June 12.
