20 August 2019, 19:33 PM "Preposterous to say prosecution of Chidambaram is baseless, politically motivated and act of vendetta," said the Delhi High Court during hearing on the Congress leader's bail plea. "It is a classic case of money laundering. The twin factors which have weighed to deny pre arrest bail to Petitioner are gravity of offense and evasive replies of the Petitioner to questions put to him while he was under protective cover. Gravity of offence committed in this case justify denial of pre arrest bail."

20 August 2019, 19:29 PM The team of CBI officers has left from Chidambaram's residence.

20 August 2019, 19:15 PM On May 15, 2017, the CBI had registered an FIR in the case alleging irregularities in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance granted to the INX Media for receiving overseas funds to the tune of Rs 305 crore in 2007, during Chidambaram`s tenure as the finance minister. Karti Chidambaram has also been probed by the CBI for allegedly taking money to facilitate the FIPB clearance to INX Media in 2007. The ED had registered a PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) case based on FIR by the CBI and alleged that irregularities took place in the FIPB clearance to INX Media. CBI had registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), the ED's equivalent of a police FIR, against the accused named in a CBI complaint, including Karti Chidambaram, INX Media and its directors Peter and Indrani Mukerjea.

20 August 2019, 19:12 PM P Chidambaram is not present at his residence, sources told Zee News. The Congress leader did not come back home after SC rejected the urgent hearing plea.
