AgustaWestland deal: CBI examines Ex-Deputy Chief of IAF
The agency has called former Air Chief SP Tyagi on Monday.
New Delhi: Sharpening the attack on Congress on the AgustaWestland helicopter deal, Union minister of state for finance Jayant Sinha on Saturday said investigators have the ability to find the money trail and the government would pursue the matter for the benefit of citizens.
“These are investigations that our agencies are undertaking and they are very capable,” Mr Sinha said in response to a question on whether the government was confident about proving the money trail to Congress president Sonia Gandhi or if it was just political aggression.
Meanwhile, CBI on Saturday examined former Deputy Chief of Indian Air Force JS Gujral in connection with alleged irregularities in the Rs 3,600 crore VVIP chopper deal with AgustaWestland.
Air Marshal (Retd) Gujral arrived at the CBI Headquarters in the morning and appeared before the investigation team probing the case.
He was one of the many senior officials who were part of the meeting in 2005 when a decision to alter the required specifications was taken. The agency has called former Air Chief S.P. Tyagi on Monday.
