CBI quizzes ESL for 2 hrs
Central Bureau of Investigation Quizzes ESL Narasimhan for 2 hrs, questioned Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Governor ESL Narasimhan in Hyderabad in connection with alleged graft in the procurement of Agusta Westland VVIP choppers for 556.262 million euros (Rs.3,726.96 crore), officials said.
Hyderabad: The CBI on Wednesday questioned Andhra Pradesh and Telangana Governor ESL Narasimhan in Hyderabad in connection with alleged graft in the procurement of Agusta Westland VVIP choppers for 556.262 million euros (Rs.3,726.96 crore), officials said.
The CBI team, which flew in from Delhi, questioned Narsimhan as a witness. The team recorded his statement under section 161 of Code of Criminal Procedure. Officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) questioned the Governor at Raj Bhavan for nearly two hours.
Narasimhan was heading the Intelligence Bureau in 2005 when the chopper deal was finalised. The deal was struck in 2010 but was cancelled last year following allegations of graft in the purchase of 12 choppers for the use of VVIPs.
Narasimhan, 68, is the third Governor to be quizzed in the case by the Central Bureau. MK Narayanan, who quit as West Bengal Governor, and BV Wanchoo, the former Goa Governor, have already been questioned by the CBI.
