New Delhi, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram’s son Karthi Chidambaram has said that he is likely to consider suingJanata Party chief Subramanian Swamy over allegations that he and his firm Advantage earned Rs.26 lakhs from a deal with Aircel in 2006.
According to reports, Karthi Chidambaram’s chartered accountant K.Balachandran has sent a legal notice to Swamy.
