The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday questioned Congress MP Karti Chidambaram for nine hours in connection with an alleged scam pertaining to the issuance of visas to 263 Chinese nationals in 2011 when his father P. Chidambaram was home minister, officials said.
A special court had ordered Karti to join the CBI investigation within 16 hours of his arrival from the United Kingdom and Europe, where he had gone with the permission of the Supreme Court and the special court.
The MP returned from his trip on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, and arrived at the CBI office around 8.00 on Thursday morning to answer questions related to the case.
