Chinese visa scam case: Delhi court frames charges against Karti Chidambaram, six others

Special judge Dig Vinay Singh of Rouse Avenue Court ordered the framing of charges against the seven accused persons and discharged one. Chetan Shrivastava, in the case.

The court listed the matter for January 16 for the prosecution’s evidence.

The judge said that the conspiracy hatched between the accused number 1, S Bhaskaraman, and accused number 2, Karti, was evident. The court said that there was strong suspicion against Karti as the same was backed by an approver’s statement and the case against him was not solely based on email confirmation.

“Even if there is no direct documentary or e-mail link to A-2 (Karti), the approver’s statement makes it clear that A-2 guided the approver to A-1 (Bhaskaraman) to disclose his requirement and details, and thereafter A-1 demanded and received the bribe,” the order read.
