The pain of Karti Chidambaram may become dense as the Enforcement Directorate officials said that they have found details of him transferring Rs 1.8 crore into the bank account of a top political leader.
Karti was arrested by the CBI on February 28 from Chennai in connection with alleged payoffs received from INX Media promoted by Peter and Indrani Mukherjea. ED officials described discovery of the Royal Bank of Scotland transaction as a turning point in the probe.
ED said that Karti transferred the money from his account in the Chennai branch of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). The ED officials said the recipient has discharged very important responsibilities at the Centre in a career spanning decades, but declined to disclose his identity on the grounds that doing so could hamper their investigation.
As per media sources, Karti allegedly made the transfers from his account (No.397990) in RBS’s Chennai branch into the account of the senior political leader, raising suspicions of a possible nexus between them. In their statements before the ED under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, which is admissible as evidence in court, INX Media promoters Peter and Indrani-Mukerjea disclosed that they had paid close to $700,000 (Rs 3.1 crore) to Karti through subsidiaries abroad.
