Karti Chidambaram, the son of senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, on Thursday appeared before the ED in connection with its probe into the INX Media money laundering case.
Karti was summoned by the agency to appear before the Investigating Officer (IO) of the case on Thursday.
His authorised representative had met the IO on the last two occasions and the central probe agency had subsequently asked him to appear himself.
The central probe agency had registered a case against him and others in May last year.
It had registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), the ED’s equivalent of a police FIR, against the accused named in a CBI complaint, including Karti, INX Media and its directors, Peter and Indrani Mukerjea.
The ECIR was lodged under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The sources said that the ED is probing the alleged “proceeds of crime” generated in this case.
