The  Supreme Court directs today the former finance minister P. Chidambaram's son Karti Chidambaram to appear before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for an interrogation on August 23, in connection with INX media Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance case.

Karti told the Top Court that "I am not afraid of appearing, but I need protection,"

The Madras High Court had on August 10 stayed the 'look out circulars' issued against Karti Chidambaram and four others by the Centre over a corruption case filed by the CBI, holding that they were prima facie "unwarranted".
