Deposit Rs 10 crore to travel abroad, Supreme Court tells Karti Chidambaram

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Karti Chidambaram, who is facing criminal cases being probed by the ED and CBI, to travel to the US, Germany and Spain this month.
A bench comprising CJI Ranjan Gogoi and Justices Deepak Gupta and Sanjiv Khanna said the permission to travel abroad was subject to compliance of conditions imposed earlier.
The SC had in January granted Karti, son of Congress leader P Chidambaram, permission to travel abroad after depositing Rs 10 crore with the secretary general of the Supreme Court.
The court, on the request of ED, had earlier asked Karti to file an undertaking that he would return to India and cooperate with the probe. The court had said it would "come down heavily" on Karti if he did not cooperate.
