CBI raids at multiple locations of Karti Chidambaram in 'Bribe-For-Visa of Chinese nationals' case

CBI raids at Karti Chidambaram's home in New Delhi

New Delhi: CBI on Tuesday conducted search operations at Congress MP Karti Chidambaram's home and offices over allegations of bribery. Seven premises linked to Karti Chidambaram - the son of former Union Minister P Chidambaram - and his associates were searched across Chennai, Mumbai, Odisha, and Delhi.

The investigative agency has registered a fresh case against Karti Chidambaram, sources say, accusing him of receiving ₹ 50 lakh as bribe to facilitate the visa of 250 Chinese nationals for a power project in Punjab between 2010-14.

"There were total seven members in the CBI team. Karti Chidambaram was not at his residence during the raid at 7.30 am," said Birbal Singh, the security guard at his house.

"I have lost count, how many times has it been? Must be a record," Karti tweeted without specifying.
