Christian Michel, arrested in the Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland chopper deal, alleged before a Delhi court on Tuesday that CBI had asked him in Dubai to implicate certain persons in the case, failing which he would face problems in jail.
The threat to him was given before he was extradited to New Delhi, he said.
Michel made the allegations through his lawyer before the court while opposing Tihar Jail authorities’ move to shift him to a high security cell in isolation.
The Tihar jail authorities submitted that there was threat perception against Michel after the Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF jawans were killed by Jaish-e-Muhammed outfit in a suicide attack.
