The Central Bureau of Investigation told the Supreme court on Thursday If Karti Chidambaram is allowed to travel abroad, we fear he may not return.
Sharing their apprehension, the CBI, through its counsel additional solicitor general Tushar Mehta, opposed Chidambaram’s appeal to travel to Cambridge to attend a lecture and a meeting.
The bench, led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, perused a report by the agency, highlighting material found during the investigation.
“The incident in June-July coupled with the vehemence with which he insists on going again inspires no confidence,” Mehta told a bench that also consisted Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud.
