The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned former union minister P Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram asking him appear at the agency’s headquarters on Friday in connection with the INX Media scam, reported ANI.
This is the second CBI notice to Karti Chidambaram. ANI reported that according to sources, Karti’s associates and CA were summoned by CBI earlier this week but they failed to appear and did not notify the CBI about it.
