Former Union Minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram claimed that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday carried out searches at his residences in Chennai and in Delhi but found nothing.
He added, ‘The timing of search was interesting’.
Reacting to the raids, Karti said he has lost count of CBI raids. I have lost count, how many times has it been? Must be a record, he tweeted.
In August 2019, P Chidambaram was arrested by the CBI in the INX-Media. In the first two month, he was under the police and judicial custody of the CBI for custodial interrogation. This has been followed by Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody, where he was lodged in Tihar Jail.
Chidambaram was released from jail in December 2019 after the Supreme Court granted him bail in the INX Media case.
