Congress MP Karti Chidambaram appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the alleged Chinese visa case on Saturday. The ED filed a money laundering case in the alleged Chinese visa scam case in May last year. After his appearance before ED, Karti said that it was the "most bogus case" and he does not know who was behind it.


On his appearance before the ED, Congress MP Karti Chidambaram said, "This is the 20th time. I think they missed me. I came to give them the Christmas greetings... What is the strategy? As I told you, there are 3 categories of cases against me. The first category is called bogus. The second category is called more bogus, and the third category is called most bogus."

"This is the most bogus case... I don't know who's behind the case. It must be some Chinese ghost," he said.

"It is a dead, dormant and closed case. The CBI has practically closed this matter but they (ED) want to reopen it and question me in connection with it," he told ANI.


The CBI, last year, raided the premises of the Chidambaram family and arrested S Bhaskararaman, a close associate of Chidambaram.














The ED case revolves around accusations of Rs 50 lakh in kickbacks paid to Karti and Bhaskararaman by a senior executive of Vedanta group company Talwandi Sabo Power Ltd. (TSPL). The allegations stem from the establishment of a power plant in Punjab, as outlined in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR.
