CBI raids: Jaitley says 'day of reckoning' has come

May 16, 2017 20:02

In the wake of former union minister P Chidambaram's property being raided by the Central Bureau of Investigation, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley while defending the investigative body has said the 'day of reckoning' is here, adding that all those involved will be accountable.

Jaitley said the raids have been carried out only after identifying a substantial reason.

"Unless there is a valid reason, the CBI and other bodies do not carry out such raids. Every step taken is done so expecting some result in return. The people in high positions acquiring assets through shell companies is not a small thing. Those responsible will be accountable," said Jaitley.

Officials from the CBI raided the residence of P. Chidambaram and his son Karti in Chennai on Tuesday morning.
