Linkedin Share URL preview not showing correctly?

I need to share dynamically created URLs in website to Facebook and LinkedIn. I am sharing to Facebook properly and all needed og tags have been set. But for LinkedIn, it is not working.

This is my URL: https://www.fourthambit.com/blogs_fa/102048

It is properly parsed in Facebook and preview is shown correctly.

But the same link is not working in LinkedIn.

Am I missing anything else?

All needed meta tags are set:

<meta property="og:title" content="Indian Media: Then.... Now... and Later" />
<meta content="Sensationalism has become synonymous with the Indian Media, especially Television. In 2008 dur..." name="description" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Sensationalism has become synonymous with the Indian Media, especially Television. In 2008 dur..." />
<meta content="Academic network" name="keywords" />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.fourthambit.com/article/getarticlephoto/big/ZGNlZQD4/0/102/20150807050217-12217198186.jpg" />

<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" name="viewport" />

This is the ajax call going while I try to view a preview in LinkedIn update status bar text-area.

The reason to this problem could be the following:\n"Unfortunately LinkedIn caches the data it retrieves the first time the link is previewed and keeps it cached for a week!"\nand the solution:\n"The only way to “clear” the sharing preview cache for LinkedIn is to trick LinkedIn into thinking your page is a different (and new) page.\nThis is done by adding a made-up parameter to the link. It doesn’t affect your webpage, but it does force the metadata to be re-fetched.\nExample:\nOriginal link: http://beantin.se/consultant-resume\n"New" link: http://beantin.se/consultant-resume?1",
