A court in New Delhi granted interim protection from arrest to Ratul Puri, nephew of Kamal Nath who is the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh. This in connection with a money laundering case related to AgustaWestland VVIP Chopper scam. 

The government has started the crackdown against such fugitives and has back to back extradited Christen Michel who is an accused in the VVIP chopper scam and now Deepak Talwar and Rajeev Saxena who were involved in AgustaWestland scam

On Saturday, the Enforcement Directorate said that British middleman in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper case Christian Michel took the name of a " Mrs Gandhi" during his interrogation

ED gets seven more days of custody to establish money trail as Indian officials who Christian Michel met as part of the bribery scandal. ED is also looking for all the places where these meetings were held. 

'The accused suffers from an acute stage of dyslexia and if needed the same can be proved by an independent medical examination. The accused is a foreign national and has lost all his property and business due to this case and allegations. He requires freedom from custody to organise documents to prove his innocence,' Aljo K Joseph submitted in the court on Wednesday

Rosemary Patrizi, the lawyer of Christian Michel who has arrived in India to defend her client's 'human rights', spoke to Arnab Goswami of Republic TV, almost admitting that a letter that Michel wrote mentioning a certain Mrs Gandhi as the 'driving force' behind the UPA government's VVIP chopper deal with AgustaWestland was then Congress president Sonia Gandhi
