Searching for Chidambaram: CBI, ED teams

New Delhi: From the minute the Delhi High Court dismissed the expectant bail supplication of senior Congress pioneer and previous Finance Minister P. Chidambaram in the INX Media illegal tax avoidance case, the CBI and ED groups have visited his home multiple times in the previous 12 hours. Be that as it may, there’s no hint of him.
