4-day CBI custody to Former Air Force chief SP Tyagi and others in Augusta Westland chopper scam

New Delhi: Dec,10(UNI): A Delhi Court today ordered four-day CBI custody to the former Indian Air Force Chief SP Tyagi and others in the Rs 3,767-crore Agusta Westland chopper scam case.
It is alleged that the former Air Force Chief SP Tyagi, his cousin Sanjeev alias Julie Tyagi and a Delhi-based lawyer, Gautam Khaitan, were involved in irregularities in the procurement of 12 AW-101 VVIP helicopters from Britain-based Agusta Westland.
Counsel for CBI requested for ten-day remand of all the accused for detailed questioning. CBI told the court that they were investigating the scam and needed more time. Counsel for CBI submitted that Agusta was engaging middlemen regularly, bribes were paid and investigation was going on. "We have received LRs from Mauritius and Italy. They have given us information. So we need to interrogate these accused persons," said the counsel for CBI.
