CBI to question cousins of former IAF chief again in Choppergate

Haschke, who was questioned first by defence ministry officials and later by the CBI, had told the probe agency that money was given to Tyagi brothers for the engineering works and meeting other administrative requirements in India, official sources said.

Arrested in Switzerland in September last year and later extradited to Italy to face the trial, Haschke had denied that he had ever met the former IAF Chief or handed over any money to him to clear the VVIP helicopter deal in favour of AgustaWestland.

Tyagi refused to comment on the development, saying, ‘I have been saying this earlier as well. I do not wish to say anything on this issue.’
