New Delhi: Within hours of their extradition from the UAE, Rajeev Saxena, an accused in the multi-crore AgustaWestland chopper deal scam, and lobbyist Deepak Talwar, were being questioned separately by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday morning, according to sources.
Saxena and Talwar were extradited from Dubai, UAE, to India and were arrested by ED at 2:00 am on Thursday. They both reached the ED office at 4 am.
Saxena will be produced before Special CBI Judge Arvind Kumar later on Thursday.
Saxena and Talwar were brought in a plane of the Government of India at 11.30 pm on Wednesday. After all the formalities they were arrested by ED.
Soon after the arrest, Saxena and Talwar were taken to Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital for the medical checkup.
Their extradition comes as a major breakthrough for the investigating agencies after Christian Michel’s extradition in December last year.
Talwar is being probed for allegedly concealing income of over Rs 1,000 crore and playing a role in aviation contracts during the UPA regime.
