New Delhi, Aug 24 (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Nalini Chidambaram, wife of former Finance Minister P. Chidamabram, in connection with its money-laundering probe in the Saradha chit fund scam case. The particular matter with Nalini, a Supreme Court lawyer, pertains to the legal fee paid to her by the Saradha group, official sources said. Nalini represented Manoranjana and, therefore, was asked to offer her professional advice in her negotiations with Sen in connection with plans by the group to acquire a TV channel in the northeast. The lawyer is believed to have advised her client against the Rs 42-crore investment by the group to acquire the TV channel. ED has filed a charge sheet in this case in a special PMLA court in Calcutta earlier this year and it is working to file more similar complaints in the future.
