The Enforcement Directorate has summoned two retired Indian Air Force (IAF) officers for recording statements in connection with the VVIP chopper deal case.
The agency has sought clarifications from a retired Air Marshal and a retired Group Captain on suspicion that they had links with British national Christian Michel, one of the accused in the case.
Mr. Michel, now based in Dubai, was allegedly instrumental in routing bribe money to India for payment to some government officials purportedly on behalf of AgustaWestland to bag the deal for supply of 12 VVIP choppers.
