Chopper Scam: ‘Middleman’ met Tyagi

Updated on Feb 14, 2013 04:10 pm IST

Much to the embarrassment of SP Tyagi, fresh media reports today claimed that a key middleman met Tyagi “6/7 times”, which includes meetings at the offices of the former air chief's cousins and at the Bangalore airshow when Tyagi was still in office. The reports come as a complete contradiction to Tyagi's claim he met a middleman just once and that too after he retired. The former air chief, is currently under scanner for receiving bribe to push the Rs. 3,760-crore VVIP chopper deal, with Italian Firm Finmeccanica.
