The Enforcement Directorate today filed a charge sheet in a Delhi court against Karti Chidambaram in the Aircel-Maxis money laundering case.
Additional Sessions Judge Ruby Alka Gupta said that it would consider the charge sheet on July 4.
Apart from Karti, the agency has also named four other in its charge sheet under section 4 (Punishment for money-laundering) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The ED has mentioned the name of former union minister P Chidambaram at various places in the charge sheet but he has not been arrayed as an accused in the case.
The agency told the court that it may file a supplementary charge sheet in the case.
