Karti Chidambaram’s locations are raided by the CBI as part of an ongoing investigation
According to news agency PTI, the CBI has filed a new case against Congress leader Karti Chidambaram for alleged illegal gratification.
As part of the investigation of Karti, a Tamil Nadu Lok Sabha MP, CBI sleuths are also conducting searches at nine different locations in the country.
Karti has been charged with alleged foreign remittances between 2010-14, when the Congress-led UPA was in power and his father P Chidambaram was a Union Minister.
It is already being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that Karti is facing charges in criminal cases. In addition to being charged with the Aircel-Maxis deal and Foreign Investment Promotion Board clearance for INX Media for receiving foreign funds worth Rs 305 crore when his father was Union Finance Minister, he is also facing criminal charges. All the allegations have, however, been denied by Karti and his father.
