The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has initiated a money laundering probe on the basis of a case recently registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation involving Congress MP Karti Chidambaram and others in connection with the alleged visa scam.
Mr. Karti has refuted the allegations against him, terming them a “witch hunt”. Following searches at multiple locations, the CBI earlier arrested his close associate S. Bhaskar Raman and got his custody from a special court for interrogation.
