The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday questioned former Indian Air Force (IAF) chief SP Tyagi in connection with the controversial AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal which has been a matter of intense debate in and outside Parliament for the past week.
However, this is not the first case where a major arms deal turned into a scandal. Here are some of other major such cases which created controversies but were never brought to justice due to shoddy investigation by the agencies:
Bofors Scandal:
Tatra Trucks Scam:
atra trucks from Bharat Earth Movers Limited. (BEML) in 2012. A case was filed against Lt General Tejinder Singh, and he was taken to Tihar Jail in 2012. However, the other accused like UK-based promoter Ravinder Rishi and top officials from BEML were let off due to lack of evidence.
Barak Missile Scam:
HDW German Submarine scandal:
Kargil coffin scam:
Soltam upgunning scandal:
