CBI opposes Karti Chidambaram plea to go to Cambridge

If Karti Chidambaram is allowed to travel abroad, we fear he may not return, the Central Bureau of Investigation told the Supreme court on Thursday.

Sharing their apprehension, the CBI, through its counsel additional solicitor general Tushar Mehta, opposed Chidambaram's appeal to travel to Cambridge to attend a lecture and a meeting.

Mehta's submission cane after the bench, led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, perused a report by the agency, highlighting material found during the investigation.
