Congress MP Karti Chidambaram on Friday moved an anticipatory bail application in a Delhi court, in connection with the alleged visa scam case.
The court had on Thursday handed over Karti’s Chartered Accountant S Bhaskararaman to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for four day’s custodial interrogation in connection with a Rs 50 lakh alleged bribery case for clearing visas of 263 Chinese nationals working at Talwandi Sabo Power Ltd in Punjab.
Special CBI Judge Prashant Kumar passed the order noting that the investigation was at its initial stage, and the accused was required to be quizzed.
The bribery incident is reported to have taken place in 2011 when Karti Chidambaram’s father P Chidambaram was the Union home minister.
