But in 2013 UPA government decided to put this deal on hold because the CEO and chairperson of Agusta Westland arrested. They got arrested there in case of bribed middlemen to secure the deal with India Air Force.

Italian high court explicitly said about the role of former Defense Minister AK Antony in Agusta scam.SP Tyagi was also connected to this scam. Italian court alleged the connection of SP Tyagi in this scam.

Both people held guilty for paying bribes to Indian officials for performing their duty. Now everyone is waiting for the proper investigation on this Agusta scam. So many names will come out of the inquiry. Congress leaders are in a stockade after this news.
