According to several tweets posted by Karti, he is currently in Sivaganga, which was once the stronghold of his father, a seven-time MP. On 16 May , CBI had raided Chidambaram’s Chennai residence, along with 13 other locations in Delhi, Gurugram, Mumbai and Chandigarh. The raids were purportedly related to a 2007-08 case of FIPB approval given to INX media at the behest of Chidambaram’s son, Karti. While the clearance granted was only for Rs four crore, the actual foreign investment was reportedly much higher. An FIR was filed against Karti, Indrani Mukherjee and Peter Mukerjea, who owned INX media. After the raid, Chidambaram accused the Centre of trying to silence his voice and targeting his son.
