I did some fact check on the allegations against Karti Chidambaram.

@CNNnews18 on 5-Oct,2017 published a story in which they shared addresses of four properties of @KartiPC in the United Kingdom.

Let's find out the truth. (1/11)

The four property addresses are:

1) 5 Holben Close, Barton City, Cambridge, CB23 7AQ
2) Devonshire House, 60 Goswell Road, London EC1M 7AD
3) 4, Church Lane, Barton City, Cambridge, CB23 7BE
4) Ceres, 29, Meade House, Cambridge, UK

UK govt has this online service to find out the ownership details of properties. …h-property-information.service.gov.uk

I used this service, paid £3, and used a bit of common sense to verify these properties. (3/11)

5 Holben Close, Barton City, Cambridge, CB23 7AQ.

This property is co-owned by

Karti Chidambaram
Srinidhi Karti Chidambaram (wife)
Nalini Chidambaram (mother)

This property is declared by Mr. @PChidambaram_IN as well as @KartiPC in their affidavits

The price quoted was £535,000. How do we verify this price?

Now, check this property advertisement from Cheffins property auctions Cambridge. The guide price £550K and full details of the property are available.

Now, did he route money via another country to buy this property?

Check this petition by Srinidhi Karti Chidambaram. Read para 19-28

She has clearly declared that the money was transferred via, Indian Overseas Bank, Nungambakkam Branch, Chennai.

Second: Devonshire House, 60 Goswell Road, London EC1M 7AD

For some reason, it didn't show a link to the property. So, I tried other methods.

As shown it belongs to Kingston Smith & Partners Llp, one of the biggest accountancy firms in the UK.

I had a doubt. Is it some big office space, where one room belonged to Karti? Google Streetview helped here.

As you can clearly see it belongs to Kingston Smith. If you think that I made a mistake here, please come up with facts. (8/11)

Third: 4, Church Lane, Barton City, Cambridge, CB23 7BE

The details were available in the land registry. It shows that the property is owned by Ms Lorraine Wendy Mooney. (9/n)

Fourth: Ceres, 29, Meade House, Cambridge, CB1 2FG

This is a unit in the apartment complex located at:

K2, L1, L2, L3 and L4
Station Road
Cambridge

This property belongs to Freehold Properties 23 Limited.

News Channels are resorting to propaganda claiming that the Karti has properties worth 8 lakh crore in the UK.

Now, you decide whether this case is based on facts or fiction. (11/11)
