New Delhi, May 30 (IBNS): The Enforcement Directorate has summoned former finance minister P Chidambaram’s wife Nalini in connection with the Saradha chit fund scam, asking her to appear before the Kolkata office during the second week of May, media reports said.
Nalini Chidambaram had earlier moved the Madras High Court challenging the summon issued by the ED on September 7, 2016, contending that under the Code of Civil Procedure a woman could not be summoned by the police.
The Madras High Court, however, dismissed the petition last month.
Nalini, who was the legal advisor of Saradha accused Manoranjana Sinh, had been summoned first by the ED in 2015. But she had sent her representative to the agency’s office.
