VVIP chopper scam: CBI moves HC seeking Rajiv Saxena’s judicial custody
The Central Bureau of Investigation has appealed to the Delhi High Court against a special CBI Court order granting regular bail to Rajiv Saxena, the accused-turned-approver in the Rs 3,600-crore VVIP chopper scandal.
The premier investigative agency, which has sought his judicial custody (jail), argued that Saxena does not deserve “parity” with the other accused in the AgustaWestland case.
He has “misled” the probe agencies and is “not cooperating” with the investigation, the CBI contended in its appeal. It further argued that Saxena needs to be sent behind bars for an “effective investigation”.
