New Delhi, April 29
The CBI today summoned former Air Force Chief SP Tyagi and former deputy Air Chief JS Gujral for questioning in connection with its probe into the alleged corruption in Rs 3,600 crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal.
It would be the second time that the duo would be questioned as both had been examined in 2013 too.
Sources said Gujral had been called for questioning tomorrow and Tyagi — summoned by the ED as well — on Monday. The fresh round of questioning was necessitated after the April 7 verdict of an Italian court convicting two defence major Finmeccanica (AgustaWestland is its subsidiary) officials for paying kickbacks for the deal with India during the UPA regime.
