May 07, 2016 12:18

All three cousin brothers of former Indian Air Force chief SP Tyagi --Sandeep, Sanjeev and Rajiv reached the Central Bureau of Investigation headquarters on Saturday as their grilling entered second day in connection with the AgustaWestland chopper scam.

On being asked about the chances of them being arrested, Sanjeev Tyagi "God only knows."

According to CBI sources, the Tyagi brothers admitted to having a property link with SP Tyagi, while Sanjeev Tyagi admitted to having financial dealings with middlemen Haschke and Gerosa during the probe.

The sources also said that during the interrogation, it was found out that Khaitan has been concealing information regarding financial transaction between his company and AgustaWestland.

The Enforcement Directorate on Friday questioned SP Tyagi for the second day in connection with the controversial Rs 3,600 crore VVIP chopper deal. He was subjected to a marathon 10-hour questioning yesterday by the Enforcement Directorate investigators.

The CBI team had registered a preliminary enquiry on the basis of some important documents that it had obtained from Italian probe agencies in connection with the alleged payment of kickbacks by AgustaWestland to bag the chopper deal. A complete case would be registered once sufficient evidence is procured.
