Chidambaram reaches Sonia Gandhi's residence in Delhi

New Delhi [India], Dec 4 (ANI): Shortly after being released from Tihar jail, former union minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram on Wednesday reached the residence of the party's interim president Sonia Gandhi.
He was accompanied by his son Karti Chidambaram to meet Gandhi at her residence on 10 Janpath.
P Chidambaram was released from Tihar jail in the evening after the Supreme Court granted him bail earlier today in the INX Media case registered by the ED.
The apex court set aside the Delhi High Court's order which had refused to grant bail to Chidambaram and directed him not to tamper with evidence and influence witnesses in the case.
Chidambaram shall not give a press interview and not make public statements with regard to this case, the court ordered, while directing him to furnish a bail bond of Rs 2 lakh plus two sureties of the same amount.
Chidambaram had sought the bail in a case pertaining to the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance given to INX Media to the tune of Rs 305 crore in 2007 during his tenure as the Finance Minister.
The CBI had registered a corruption case in this regard in May 2017. Later that year, the ED also lodged a money laundering case against him.
The Congress leader was first arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on August 21 this year in the INX Media corruption case but was granted bail by the Supreme Court two months later.
He was arrested by the ED in the money laundering case on October 16. (ANI)
