Reviled as daughter-killer, Indrani Mukerjea is now a stick to beat the Chidambarams with

  1. Indrani Mukherjee has no option left with her (“Kyon ki ek taraf khayee hai to doosri taraf kunwa”.) but to choose the way shown by her master sitting in home ministry. She will have to oblige him to get few relief in her criminal cases. I will not be surprised if she gets clean chit from the court of law. There are many such examples of this nature is easily available. Latest one is former cabinet minister Ms Maya Kodnani in the Gujarat cabinet under the then Chief Minister of Gujarat Mr Narendra Modi. Despite getting life sentence in lower court, she managed to get Scot-free from higher Court after CBI didn’t place proofs of her involvement in 2002 riot cases and decided not to approach supreme court against her.

    • Please read “Approver” in criminal law. A 1st year LLB student will appraise you.
      An approver is a partner in crime, who testifies against his fellow criminals in return of a pardon – an amnesty.
      Also, in most CBI cases, where evidence is scanty, approvers are found – a dime a dozen.
      It’s another matter that most of the cases are dismissed for want of evidence.

  2. Indrani is accused for crime in personal life.In case of Chidambaram ,she must be true as a professional. And does it erase the fact what our FM has commited nothing but corruption.

  3. I do not know about vendetta but surely the congress party is a highly corrupt party spearheaded by SONIA and Chidambaram. We indians are extremely unfortunate that despite having the most accomplished lawmaker in Pranab Mukharjee the dirty SONIA Gandhi made MMS a rank junior the PM. Knowing that he was an undeserving rewardee he obliged her in all her corrupt acts. Whether these people are justly punished only time will tell. There is no need for shedding tears for these dirty people who ruined this country in 70 Years of misrule.

  4. When a person is drowning in a well, that person beats the hands everywhere hoping that someone will grasp those hands or those hands will grasp something, to save their life.

    This is exactly what Indrani is doing here. She has caught Chidambaram’s hands & is pulling hard hoping that he will bail her out before he sinks in the well.

    May God bless both of them!

  5. The prestitude like you is nothing ready to accept that a lobby looking Indian by name and body was never Indian in its thought process hence lacking Nationalism. Such people most of them are part of Naxal and pseudo secular groups like Congress, SP ,BSP have damaged they integral fabric of this Nation. ThePrint and many like it have tried their best to continue the corrupt and anti Indian system of Governance but alas it has failed due Rise of Nationalists in power..

  6. It may be true but it is not going to save her from the major criminal case pending against her. But if her witness gets substantiated by tangible witness, it will certainly prove harmful to chidu and Karthik, the criminal father and son fuo of modern political robbers.
