The former Indian Air Force Chief SP Tyagi would be questioned by the Electoral Directorate in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam. He will soon receive a summon and will be called in for questioning.

An Italian court, Milan Court of Appeals made a statement saying that there is “reasonable belief that corruption took place” in the VVIP helicopter deal in 2010. According to reports, ex-IAF Chief, Tyagi was part of it.

Wading into the AgustaWestland row, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on 28 April demanded action against “accused” Congress people saying anything to the contrary will suggest its “nexus” with the BJP.

Kejriwal termed as “damning” the Italian court’s judgement on the issue that cited handwritten references to Sonia Gandhi, her political secretary Ahmed Patel and former Air Chief SP Tyagi by a middleman.

Italy Court’s order on Agusta is quite damning. The ball is now in Indian Govt’s court. What is Modi govt waiting for? If the accused Congress people are not punished now then suspicions of a nexus will rise. Even Robert Vadra has not been acted against.
