Chennai

: The Enforcement Directorate and income tax department on Tuesday conducted raids at firms of Karti Chidambaram, son of former finance minister P Chidambaram, according to reports.

The raids were conducted by the agencies on Vasan Eye Care and Advantage Strategic, a company that is also involved in the Aircel-Maxis deal, reports said.

Earlier in August, ED had issued summons to two directors of a firm linked to Karti in connection with its money laundering probe in the Aircel-Maxis case.

The summons had been sent to the firm 'Advantage Strategic' after the agency's probe found that Rs 26 lakh has been sent from the firm to Aircel Televentures.

The Aircel-Maxis deal is being probed by both ED and CBI and the case is a part of the overall probe in the 2G scam case.
