The former finance minister, Mr P. Chidambaram said
, “The CBI and the ED, as part of political vendetta, have made vexatious searches, issued repeated summons, unreasonably questioned persons for unconscionably long hours, unlawfully attached fixed deposits, maliciously leaked false information to the media and otherwise caused extreme harassment, anguish, and humiliation to me and my son, and to other persons who are normal business and social friends of my son.”Currently, Karti Chidambaram is not allowed to travel abroad as a lookout notice has been issued against him as the agencies suspect that he would try to close the foreign accounts where he had deposited the money from the kickbacks.
