 "SP Tyagi, 2 others sent to judicial custody till Dec 30 in AgustaWestland case")
A Delhi court on Saturday sent former Indian Air Force chief SP Tyagi and two others to judicial custody till December 30 in Rs 3,600 crore AgustaWestland chopper case.
SP Tyagi along with other accused was produced before the Patiala House court as their Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) custody ended today.
Earlier, the CBI had moved court seeking a 10-day custody to interrogate Tyagi and the other accused in the case.
Last Friday, the CBI had arrested Tyagi, his cousin Sanjeev and lawyer Gautam Khaitan.
The Rs 3600-crore deal to supply 12 VVIP helicopters from AgustaWestland came under the scanner after Italian authorities claimed that the company paid bribes.
Tyagi has been accused of influencing the deal in favour of AgustaWestland during his tenure as the IAF chief, however, he has repeatedly denied the allegations.
The CBI said that they have received "incriminating documents" from Italy and Mauritius against the formet IAF chief.
