 "Mistry's allegations: Swamy asks PM to set up SIT to probe Ratan Tata")
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament Subramanian Swamy has demanded the constitution of a multi-agency special investigation team (SIT) to probe the allegations of "certain fraudulent transactions" in AirAsia, as levelled by Cyrus Mistry after his removal as chairman of the Tata group.
Swamy has, in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said the SIT should comprise officials from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Enforcement Directorate and Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) as the charges involved a gamut of offences.
The Rajya Sabha MP recalled that he had in an earlier letter to Modi questioned Ratan Tata's role as the Indian partner in AirAsia and Vistara Airlines "in complete violation" of the laws of the country.
Close on the heels of Mistry's ouster, alleging fraudulent transactions at AirAsia India, the Aviation Ministry had said all issues would be looked into and "law of the land will have to be followed" in case of any violation.
