Its politically motivated witch-hunt, says Karti Chidambaram

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram's son Karti on Wednesday lashed out at the CBI for its action against his father in the INX media case, saying it was a "totally politically motivated witch-hunt".

Minutes after Chidambaram, a former union minister, was taken to the CBI headquarters in New Delhi, Karti said the case was apparently about events that happened in 2008.

"This is totally a politically motivated witch-hunt," the Congress MP, who is an accused in the INX media case, told reporters outside his residence here.
