New Delhi:
As the CBI today searched Congress MP Karti Chidambaram’s home and offices over new allegations of bribe-taking, his father and former Union Minister P Chidambaram questioned the timing of the search.
The CBI searched premises linked to Karti Chidambaram across Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Punjab, Karnataka and Odisha. Officials also visited the official home of Karti Chidambaram and P Chidambaram in Delhi.
“This morning, a CBI team searched my residence at Chennai and my official residence at Delhi. The team showed me a 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,” Mr Chidambaram, a Rajya Sabha member, tweeted.
