The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday, 31 July, directed former Union minister P Chidambaram's son Karti to vacate his Jor Bagh house in New Delhi, which was earlier attached by the agency in the INX Media corruption case in which they are accused.
The eviction notice was served on Wednesday evening following an earlier order of the Adjudicating Authority, PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act), by which the attachment of the property was confirmed.
The immovable property situated at 115-A block 172, Jor Bagh, New Delhi-3 was attached by the ED on 10 October last year.
The attachment was later confirmed by the authority on 29 March, following which the directions were given, the notice said.
The case involving Rs 305 crore relates to Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approval granted in 2007 for receipt of funds by INX Media.
