NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Defence minister A.K. Antony said on Tuesday it is "too early" to look at any possibility of foul-play in a deal with France's Dassault Aviation to buy Rafale war planes, following allegations of bribes in a deal with another company.

India froze payments last week for AgustaWestland helicopters pending an inquiry after Italian police arrested the former head of Finmeccanica , Giuseppe Orsi, for allegedly paying bribes to Indian politicians to win the contract.
