Back in fashion: CBI talks to Gautam Khaitan after AgustaWestland takes off again

OP Khaitan & Co managing partner Gautam Khaitan, who had been arrested in late 2014 for nearly three months in the choppergate investigation, has again been called on for questioning by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Firstpost and others reported:

CBI on Wednesday questioned former IAF Chief SP Tyagi and examined lawyer Gautam Khaitan for the first time after an Italian court held that bribes were paid to clinch the Rs 3600 crore VVIP Helicopter deal.

CBI sources said both arrived at the agency headquarters on Wednesday morning to appear before the investigation team.

Khaitan had recently also received press coverage for having referred a client to notorious Panamanian offshore firm Mossack Fonseca.

Gautam should turn approver and disclose all transaction and be crusader against corruption . He can fairly say that he was not knowing the facts in its totality . He will be in good book of NDA who are going to rule for next 15 years surely . I expect the patriotic act from Gautam. Dear Gautam, this is in the supreme interest of the our MOTHER INDIA
