Court allows Indrani Mukerjea to turn approver in INX Media case involving Chidambarams

New Delhi: A Delhi court on Thursday accepted Indrani Mukerjea’s plea to turn approver in the INX Media corruption case involving former finance minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti Chidambaram.

Special judge Arun Bhardwaj pardoned Mukerjea, who was an accused in the case, after she submitted that she voluntarily agreed to become an approver in the case.

The CBI probing the INX media corruption case had earlier submitted that Indrani, being the former head of INX Media is privy to evidence, in the form of conversations that could help consolidate the case.

Indrani is currently lodged in Mumbai’s Byculla jail in connection with the murder case of her daughter Sheena Bora.
