Timeline of events that led to the arrest of Chidambaram

Senior Congress leader and former finance minister P Chidambaram was arrested by the CBI on Wednesday night in connection with the INX Media case. CBI had registered an FIR in May 2017, alleging irregularities in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance given to the INX group for receiving overseas funds of Rs 305 crore in 2007, when Chidambaram was the Union Finance Minister. The Central Bureau of Investigation has accused Chidambaram, Karti, INX Media, and unknown officials of the finance ministry in the case. INX Media was once owned by Indrani and Peter Mukerjea, the couple now in jail in an unrelated murder case.
