Delhi court summons Congress MP Karti Chidambaram and others in a money laundering case linked to an alleged Chinese visa scam involving the issuance of visas to 263 Chinese nationals in 2011 when his father P Chidambaram was Union Home Minister. The ED filed a charge sheet and Special Judge MK Nagpal has taken cognizance of the case, with Karti Chidambaram, his former chartered accountant S Bhaskararaman, and representatives of several companies asked to appear in court on April 5. The ED has initiated an investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), but the actual magnitude of the laundered money has yet to be established.
