chidambaram offered Peter to help chidambaram’s son Karti in his business for oversea remittance instead of FIPB application. Indrani told ED that they met Karti in delhi Hotel, where Karti asked about transferring $1million through his account or any of associates by oversea account but after Peter’s denial he suggested names of ‘Chess Management’ and ‘Advantage Strategic’ for alternative payment options.
