Teams of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) have been making rounds of his Delhi's Jor Bagh residence ever since the Delhi High Court denied him anticipatory bail on Tuesday.
The Enforcement Directorate and the CBI are investigating how his son Karti Chidambaram managed to get clearance from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) in 2007 when his father was the Finance Minister.
Karti Chidambaram, son of P Chidambaram was arrested on February 28, 2018, by the CBI for allegedly accepting money to facilitate the FIPB clearance to INX Media. He was later granted bail. His chartered accountant S. Bhaskararaman was also arrested and released on bail later.
