New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate arrested alleged middleman Sushen Mohan Gupta for his involvement in the VVIP chopper scam on Monday night.
Gupta, who is accused of routing kickbacks to the people involved in the scam, will be produced in Delhi's Patiala House Court today.
Last week, the Delhi court had allowed Rajiv Saxena, an accused in the case, to turn approver'.
Saxena had moved an application before Special CBI Judge Arvind Kumar to become an approver in the case on February 27. He had told the court that he was not under any pressure and that assurance was neither given to or sought from him.
The AgustWestland helicopter deal, finalised during the previous government headed by then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, got mired in the allegations of kickbacks.
According to a chargesheet filed by the ED, the alleged middleman Christian Michel had received kickbacks to the tune of 30 million Euros from AgustaWestland for the deal involving the purchase of 12 VVIP helicopters.
