Congress MP Karti Chidambaram appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in New Delhi on December 23 in a money laundering case linked to the issuance of visa to some Chinese nationals in 2011, official sources said.
The ED case pertains to the allegations of ₹50 lakh being paid as kickbacks to Mr. Karti and his close associate S Bhaskararaman by a top executive of the Vedanta group company Talwandi Sabo Power Ltd. (TSPL), which was setting up a power plant in Punjab, according to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR.
The ED case stems from the CBI complaint.
