Kapil Sibal: We will deal with the #INXMediaCase chargesheet in the trial court. There were so many allegations in the 2G case too but what ultimately came out of it?

#PChidambaram rejects he is a flight risk.

Sibal: "Where will he go? How can he escape the trial? The world knows him."

This argument has come as #CBI called him a flight risk & said he has enough resources to settle outside.

#CBI wants to humiliate him: Chidambaram's lawyer Sibal tells the #SupremeCourt.
