The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday conducted raids at ten premises linked to Karti Chidambaram, including the residence of his father and Congress leader P Chidambaram in Delhi, in connection with its money laundering probe in the Aircel-Maxis case.
The raids were initiated early morning in nine premises in Chennai and at the Jorbagh residence of senior Chidambaram in south Delhi. "Those searched include a chartered accountant linked to Karti, his personal assistant and Karti's residence at Thousand Lights area in Chennai. Certain incriminating documents have been seized during the raids," sources said.

P Chidambaram termed the raids against his son "a comedy of errors" and claimed the officers were left "embarrassed" and "apologetic" as they could not find anything at his house. The former Union minister said, "Since they had the search warrant, I did not raise any objections to the search but I said I will record my protest that there is no FIR in respect of the scheduled crime registered by any investigating agency including the CBI." Chidambaram accused the ED of misusing its power at the behest of the government and said that he or his family would not succumb to pressure.
