The CBI has registered a case against Karti Chidambaram for allegedly receiving illegal gratification of Rs 50 lakh to facilitate visa of 250 Chinese nationals during the UPA regime. The agency raided his and his father P Chidambaram's properties in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai for the investigation.

Karti is already under investigation in relation to getting Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) clearance for INX media.

But this did not stop him from making light of the matter as he soon tweeted, "My office has just updated on the 'record' twice in 2015, once in 2017, twice in 2018 and today. 6!"

Meanwhile, his father veteran Congress leader P Chidambaram also reacted to the developments around noon, tweeting: "This morning, a CBI team searched my residence at Chennai and my official residence at Delhi. The team showed me a FIR in which I am not named as an accused. The search team found nothing and seized nothing. I may point out that the timing of the search is interesting. (sic)."
