A Delhi Court on Tuesday reserved its order on the bail application of Rajiv Saxena in AgustaWestland case.
The businessman was extradited to India on January 31 in connection with the alleged scam in the Rs 3,600 crore deal for the purchase of 12 VVIP helicopters from AgustaWestland Company. He was allegedly operating a number of bank accounts in Switzerland in which huge amounts of money were deposited.
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), after completion of ED remand of Saxena, produced him before the Court and submitted that it does not require extension of his remand.
In his bail plea Saxena said he has been providing all necessary information to the investigating agency and always cooperated in the investigation so he is not required for further custodial interrogation.
Seeking bail on medical grounds, his counsel said he is an extremely sick person with advanced terminal diseases. He has coronary heart disease with four stents in his heart and hypertension.
The Counsel further submitted that Saxena is battling an advanced stage of blood cancer and radiating back pain.
Upon hearing arguments on behalf of Directorate of Enforcement and Defence Counsel, Special Judge Arvind Kumar reserved the order on the bail application.(UNI)
