NEW DELHI: Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court on Thursday granted regular bail to Congress leader Karti Chidambaram in the Chinese visa ‘scam’ case. ED had accused Chidambaram of taking a bribe of Rs 50 lakh to facilitate the approval of visa reuse for Chinese personnel, requested by a company involved in setting up a power plant in Punjab.
Karti Chidambaram had previously called the ED’s investigation a “fishing and roving” one and insisted that he has given the organization all the paperwork it needs.He has angrily refuted the accusations, calling the case “bogus” and claiming he never assisted any Chinese citizens in obtaining a visa.
