The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday filed charge sheet against former Indian Air Force (IAF) Chief S.P. Tyagi and nine others in AugustaWestland case.
The charge sheet also includes names of Tyagi's cousin Sanjeev and lawyer Gautam Khaitan in 450 crore chopper deal bribery case.
Tyagi, who retired in 2007, his cousin Sanjeev and Khaitan were arrested on December 9, 2016, by the CBI in connection with the case which relates to the procurement of 12 VVIP choppers from the U.K.-based firm AgustaWestland during the UPA-2 regime.
Tyagi has been accused of influencing the deal in favour of AgustaWestland during his tenure as the IAF chief.
On January 4, a CBI special court granted bail to Sanjeev and his Khaitan.
The court had earlier granted bail to the 72-year-old former IAF chief.
