Agustawestland Row

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday arrested Christian Michel, the alleged middleman in the Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal case.

BJP on Friday accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of lowering his chair's dignity by levelling "unfounded" allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his educational qualification and said it was being done to divert attention from AgustaWestland case involving Congress.

Seeking to distance itself from the AgustaWestland row, realty firm Emaar MGF today said it has no "business links" with Rahul Gandhi's aide Kanishka Singh while Guido Hashke -- alleged middleman in the controversial chopper deal -- was an independent director for an "extremely brief period".

Amid a raging row over alleged kickbacks in the AgustaWestland helicopter deal, the Foreign Investment Promotion Board has deferred a decision on increase in FDI in the Italian firm's joint venture with Tata Sons.

Amid the row over the VVIP chopper scam, the government has said it will seek a report from the CBI regarding the deal, and initiate the move to blacklist AgustaWestland and its parent company Finmeccanica.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is probing the Rs 3600-crore helicopter deal, questioned the CEO of Aeromatrix, Praveen Bakshi, for second day in a row today.
