The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had registered the money laundering case against Karti Chidambaram and others in connection with the issuance of visas to 263 Chinese nationals in 2011. At the time, his father, P. Chidambaram, was the Union Home Minister.
The ED’s case is based on an FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which first investigated the alleged scam. The financial probe agency has filed the case under the criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
