The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday filed a chargesheet against 14 people including former Union finance minister P Chidambaram for their alleged involvement in the INX Media case.

Indrani Mukerjea, who has turned approver against Chidambaram, appears in the list but does not face charges.

“To pardon a woman who murdered her own daughter and for years before passed her off as her sister exposes the psychotic desperation of the BJP. Tomorrow the BJP can fix anyone who they find is speaking truth to power. This cannot and will not be India’s fate,” Gogoi twitted on Saturday.
