New Delhi, Aug 21 (TIWN) Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram has said that the observation by the Delhi High Court defining him as the key conspirator in the INX media case was "baseless".

In his anticipatory bail application filed in the Supreme Court, Chidambaram challenged the High Court order which rejected his anticipatory bail plea in the case.  "(The) Delhi High Court judge observation that the petitioner (Chidambaram) is the kingpin, i.e. the key conspirator in this case, is completely baseless and supported by no material whatsoever."  Earlier on Wednesday, Chidambaram's counsel approached the Supreme Court seeking urgent hearing on his anticipatory bail plea.
