Congress leader and former Union minister P Chidambaram was arrested by the CBI in August 2019 in connection with its probe into alleged charges of corruption in the INX Media case. As per the reports, CBI had registered an FIR on May 2017, alleging irregularities in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance given to the INX group for getting overseas funds of Rs 305 crore in 2007. P Chidambaram was the Union Finance Minister at that time.
