VVIP Chopper case: CBI files supplementary chargesheet against Michel, Saxena, 13 others

The CBI has filed a supplementary chargesheet against 15 people, including middlemen Christian Michel James and Rajeev Saxena, in the Rs 3,600 crore VVIP chopper deal case.

The chargesheet, filed on Friday, does not name former defence secretary and comptroller and auditor general Shashi Kant Sharma and former air vice marshal Jasbir Singh Panesar as the agency is still waiting for prosecution sanctions against them from the government.

Michel, who was extradited from UAE in December 2018, was widely speculated to spill the beans on politicians who may have been paid off as part of the deal. Sources, however, said that among the 15 accused mentioned in the chargesheet, there is no politician or government official.
