A day after Enforcement Directorate told the Supreme Court that P Chidambaram had 17 bank accounts and 10 properties abroad, the former finance minister dared the probe agency to provide details of such assets and accounts on affidavit in court.
Countering ED’s allegations, the Congress veteran filed a fresh affidavit saying he was ready to be prosecuted for perjury if the agency proved he owned overseas properties or bank accounts. He requested the court to direct ED to file the transcript of his quizzing on three occasions to establish he had been evasive and was not cooperating in the probe.
