NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued fresh summons to Karti Chidambaram, son of senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, in connection with the INX Media money laundering case.
Official sources said Karti has been asked to depose before the investigating officer (IO) of the case on February 2.
He was earlier grilled by the agency in the case on January 18.
Talking to reporters, Karti said he told the investigators what he had earlier “clearly stated in his petitions in the court” (in the case).
The former Union Minister’s son was referring to his moving various courts, including the Madras High Court and the Supreme Court, in response to the ED’s action against him.
The central probe agency had registered a case against him and others in May last year.
It had registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), the ED’s equivalent of a police FIR, against an accused named in a CBI complaint, including Karti Chidambaram, INX Media and its directors–Peter and Indrani Mukerjea. (AGENCIES)
