New Delhi, Oct 19 (TIWN) The name of a person, who knows crucial things in the INX Media corruption case against former finance minister P. Chidambaram, has been withheld even in the chargesheet, The Central Bureau of Investigation told the top court.

Belying the belief that former promoter of INX Media Indrani Mukherjea's statement was the basis of Chidambaram's prosecution in the case, the CBI said the person has stated that he was being "influenced" and "intimidated" by the senior Congress leader when not under arrest.   "He is the person who has given his statement under section 164 of the CrPC (recorded before a judicial magistrate) that he was being influenced and intimidated. We do not wish to disclose his identity even in the charge sheet," Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the CBI, told a bench headed by Justice R Banumathi.
