Ex-IAF chief can’t leave country: HC
SP Tyagi

New Delhi, May 30

The Delhi High Court today stayed a trial court order allowing former IAF chief SP Tyagi, a key accused in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam, to travel to Indonesia.Decrying the “special treatment” given to Tyagi, Justice I S Mehta said: “I do not understand, why the accused persons always want to travel abroad… why should he (Tyagi) be given the special treatment.”Staying the trial court order till July 12, it agreed to the CBI contention that the 71-year-old former IAF chief, who is on bail, might tamper with the ongoing probe in the case.The court, which is hearing the CBI’s appeal against the grant of bail to Tyagi and two other accused, said: “You (Tyagi) are facing trial in a case and also getting special treatment. What is this? Till July 12, you will not travel.” — PTI
