New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday booked Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Karti Chidambaram in a new case of alleged illegal gratification .
The CBI, on Tuesday morning, conducted raids across nine properties linked to Karti P Chidambaram, son of former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram. The raids were conducted in Chennai (3), Mumbai (3), Karnataka (1), Punjab (1) and Odisha (1) in a case related to foreign remittance received by Karti between 2010 and 2014, according to reports.
