A Delhi court on Thursday granted bail to Congress leader Karti Chidambaram in a money laundering case linked to the alleged Chinese visa scam.
Karti appeared before Special Judge for ED and CBI, Kaveri Baweja, pursuant to a summons issued against him, which led to the relief being granted.
The court had earlier issued summons against Karti, taking cognisance of an ED charge sheet filed in the case. The bail was granted on a personal bond of Rs one lakh and one surety of a similar amount.
The ED's money laundering case relates to the issuance of visas to 263 Chinese nationals in 2011, during the tenure of Karti's father, P Chidambaram, as Union home minister.
