What is the ₹3,600 crore AgustaWestland chopper scam?
The UPA government signed a contract with Italy-based AgustaWestland in 2010 to buy helicopters worth ₹3,600 crore for the Indian Air Force. Several Indian politicians and military officials, including ex-IAF chief SP Tyagi, have been accused of accepting bribes from the company in return for awarding it the contract. The deal was later cancelled by the UPA government in 2014.
