In wake of the CBI on Saturday searching his Chennai house again and reportedly seizing documents in connection with the alleged Chinese visa scam case, Congress MP Karti P. Chidambaram accused the agency of taking away his daughter's laptop.

"When CBI searched the residence located at No 16, Pycrofts Garden Road, Nungambakkam, Chennai on May 17, 2022, they found nothing. There was one cupboard in the residence that was locked and the owner was abroad. That cupboard was opened today and there were only clothes. The CBI found nothing and seized nothing. However, the CBI has illegally seized a laptop and an iPad belonging to my daughter. She is a University student.. that laptop contains her academic work. We have strongly protested the action and will move the Courts against the illegal seinure," Karti Chidambaram said in a response to a IANS tweet.
