New Delhi, Nalini Chidamabaram, wife of former Finance Minister P Chidambaram, has been examined by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with the alleged multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam.
CBI examined Nalini, a Supreme Court lawyer, on Saturday evening in Chennai in connection with the legal fee paid to her by the Saradha group, official sources said here.
The sources said Saradha Chairman Sudipta Sen, at present in jail, had mentioned about hiring Nalini as a lawyer at the request of Manoranjana Sinh, estranged wife of Congress leader Mantang Sinh.
Sen, who had written a letter to CBI last year, had claimed that Rs one crore had been paid to the lawyer as her legal fee by the Saradha group.
