Bail to Tyagi in money laundering case

A Delhi court on Wednesday granted bail to former Air Force Chief S.P. Tyagi and others in a money laundering case.

The case is connected with the ₹3,700-crore AgustaWestland VVIP helicopter bribery case.

Granting bail to them, Special Judge Arvind Kumar said: “Keeping in view the overall facts and circumstances, the applicant/accused S.P.Tyagi, Sandeep Tyagi, Rajiv Tyagi and Sanjeev Tyagi are admitted to bail on furnishing personal bond in the sum of ₹1 lakh with one surety each of the like amount.”

The Enforcement Directorate, however, opposed their bail applications but the court dismissed its argument.

Taking cognisance of a supplementary complaint in the matter, the court had on July 25 summoned them on Wednesday.
