The team showed me an FIR in which I am not named as an accused. The search team found nothing and seized nothing.
I may point out that the timing of the search is interesting.”Karti Chidambaram is being investigated in several cases, including his alleged role in facilitating Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance to INX Media for receiving ₹ 305 in foreign funds when his father P Chidambaram was the Finance Minister.
