Former Air Chief SP Tyagi arrested by CBI in VVIP chopper scam
Mangalore Today News Network
New Delhi, Dec 09, 2016 : Former Air Force Chief SP Tyagi was arrested today in connection with alleged bribery in the VVIP chopper deal.
The former air chief has been repeatedly questioned on the deal with AgustaWestland, in which kickbacks were allegedly paid to Indian officials and politicians to influence the contract for a dozen VVIP choppers.
Retired Air Marshal Tyagi is accused by investigators in Italy and India of helping AgustaWestland win the Rs. 3,600 crore chopper contract by tailoring specifications at the instance of his cousins.
Investigations have revealed that it was in 2004 that the Tyagis entered into a consultancy deal with middlemen, when Air Marshal Tyagi’s cousins were certain that SP Tyagi would be the next air force chief and thus in a position to influence the deal.
