Chidambaram and his son are once again in the spotlight on the Aircel- Maxis case.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a fresh chargesheet against former finance minister P Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram in connection with the latter’s alleged involvement in the Aircel-Maxis case.
The chargesheet, which is called the prosecution complaint in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) parlance, is expected to be filed before the court of special judge O P Saini.
It is expected to underline the role of Karti and others in Aircel-Maxis deal, the sources said.
Talking to the media on the issue, BJP senior leader, Subramanian Swamy said, “This should have been done much earlier but few officers of the Central Bureau of Investigation were helping Chidambaram, even a few ministers were helping him, but now the Prime Minister has stopped all these. The CBI and the ED have been asked not to entertain any interference from anyone and take their own decisions.”

He allegedly took service charges for getting the FIPB clearance to INX Media for receiving funds from abroad worth Rs 305 crore in 2007 when his father was the finance minister.
Currently, Karti Chidambaram is out on bail and the former Finance Minister has been given protection from arrest by the ED till July 10 by the Patiala House Court.
