Chopper scam: 2 associates of middleman Christian James get bail


New Delhi:
A Patiala House Court on Saturday granted bail to two Indian associates of alleged middleman Christian Michel James in connection with the R. 3600 crore VVIP AgustaWestland Chopper scam.

Earlier in February, the Delhi High Court had adjourned the hearing over the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) bail cancellation plea against former Indian Air Force (IAF) chief S.P. Tyagi and others in the Agusta Westland case till March 15.

On January 4, a CBI special court granted bail to the former air chief’s cousin Sanjeev Tyagi and his lawyer Gautam Khaitan.
