Advocates of former finance minister P. Chidambaram had reached the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court order in the INX Media case. The Delhi High Court quashed Chidambaram’s anticipatory bail plea.

The entire CBI team went to his house to arrest former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram empty-handed. On the disappearance of former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram from his house, his lawyer Arshdeep Singh Khurana came to the fore and gave clarification in this matter. He had requested the CBI team not to take any concrete action against my client till the process of trial in this case is over.
