Aircel Maxis case: Karti Chidambaram moves SC against CBI summons

October 04, 2017 13:14

Former finance minister P Chidambaram's son Karti Chidambaram on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court against the summons issued by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with Aircel Maxis case.

On September 27, the CBI had summoned Karti to appear before it on October 4.

Earlier, the Enforcement Directorate had attached assets, bank accounts and fixed deposits worth Rs 90 lakh of Karti in the case.

During investigation, the ED found that the Foreign Investment Promotion Board approval given by P Chidambaram in Aircel-Maxis deal was beyond his mandate.

The law enforcement agency, in its investigation, also found that the amount for the FIPB approval was wrongly projected to conceal the facts.

It also found that the company promoted by Karti and his cousin allegedly received two lakh dollars from Maxis Group in guise of software consultancy. -- ANI
