Appear within 2 hours: CBI to Chidambaram

August 20, 2019 23:56

The Central Bureau of Investigation has put up a notice outside the residence of former Union finance minister P Chidambaram to appear before them in the next two hours.

Hours after the Delhi high court refused to grant any protection from arrest to Chidambaram, a team of CBI officers landed at his posh Jor Bagh residence in New Delhi to locate him.

The CBI team left the premises after confirming that Chidambaram was not present at the address.

The team, which had some superintendent of police-rank officials, did not make clear if they had gone to his residence to arrest him for alleged irregularities in foreign investment clearance to INX media during his tenure as finance minister.
