The home of former union minister P Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram in Chennai is among more than a dozen places raided by the CBI this morning.
Raids are on at 14 places in Chennai. Sources say the searches are linked to the allegation that Karti Chidambaram’s company facilitated clearances for foreign investment to a media company in 2008 for kickbacks.
Mr Chidambaram, one of the top leaders of the Congress, was Finance Minister in the Manmohan Singh government.
“The attempt is to grab headlines and create a perception. Why no action for three years?” said Congress spokesperson Tom Vadakkan, accusing the government of targeting Mr Chidambaram.
