VVIP Chopper scam: Witness tells court Enforcement Directorate extorted statement from him
NEW DELHI: In a dramatic turn of events, a man claiming to be a witness in the VVIP chopper scam appeared before a Delhi court on Friday alleging that ED forced him to make certain statements in the case and he wants to retract them.
The man claimed before Special Judge Arvind Kumar that the Enforcement Directorate “physically tortured” and “harassed” him and made him write a story as narrated and directed by the agency officials.
The man — Mahipal — barged into the courtroom while the judge was hearing the anticipatory bail application of Ratul Puri, nephew of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, in connection with a money laundering case related to the scam.
