VVIP chopper scam: Delhi HC sends notice to SP Tyagi's cousin Sanjeev on plea against his bail

The Delhi HC has issued notice to ex-IAF chief SP Tyagi's cousin Sanjeev Tyagi on a plea challenging bail granted to him in VVIP chopper scam case.

The CBI had moved separate pleas in the high court against the trial court's order granting bail to two other co-accused, Sanjeev Tyagi alias Juile and lawyer Gautam Khaitan. A special court had granted bail to Sanjeev cousin and Khaitan in VVIP chopper scam case on last Wednesday, saying that whether they took the "kickbacks", as alleged by CBI, can only be looked into during the course of the trial.

Both Tyagi and Khaitan, who were interrogated by CBI in its custody for seven days, had been asked by special CBI judge Arvind Kumar to furnish a personal bond of Rs two lakh and one surety of like amount as pre-requisites for release on bail, after the court noted that co-accused SP Tyagi has already been relased on bail.

The court asked both the accused not to leave the National Capital Region without its permission and ordered them not to tamper with the evidence or try to influence the witnesses.
