New Delhi, Sep 25 (PTI): The ED today attached assets worth Rs 1.16 crore of Karti Chidambaram, son of former finance minister P Chidambaram, and a firm allegedly linked to him in connection with its money laundering probe in the Aircel-Maxis deal.

The agency said it has issued a provisional attachment order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) attaching assets "of Karti in the form of fixed deposits and balance in saving bank account to the tune of Rs 90 lakh approximately."

The central probe agency added that another Rs 26 lakh fixed deposits in the name of a firm Advantage Strategic Consulting Private Limited (ASCPL) has also been attached under provisions of the anti-money laundering law.

This firm is allegedly linked to Karti and the Enforcement Directorate said it was "controlled" by him through another person.

The ED also alleged that Karti had "disposed" off a property in Gurgaon and had "closed certain bank accounts and attempted to close other bank accounts in order to frustrate the process of attachment" under the PMLA.

The agency is probing the Aircel-Maxis deal after taking cognisance of a CBI FIR in the case.

    Only place 'Enforcement Directorate' can't reach is Bellary mine mafia Janardhan Reddy who sponsored BJP's debut government in Karnataka.
    It is unfortunate that even nations highest court Supreme Court grant him permission to visit Bellary, when he found involved in 'bail for sale' scam paying Rs50 crores to Judge who later found dead mysteriously in his house.
    Let Income tax officials and Enforcement directorate tell the nation how did Reddy is able to arrange his extravaganza daughter wedding estimated to be Rs500 crores, when the entire nation was limited to withdraw only thousands?
    Why does Enforcement directorate failed to attach Vijay Mallya liquor business who was willfully defaulted banks but able to bid for IPL team and Calendar girls?
    Is Enforcement directorate action is politically motivated?
