A day after TIMES NOW exposed how UK armtwisted India into buying junk choppers in 1985, the channel connects the dots to 2012 scam and exposes the full choppergate web. Declassified UK documents have blown the cover over the real story as to why India bought 21 Westland choppers in 1987, choppers which went on to claim 10 Indian lives and were grounded within 30 months. But, nearly 30 years later, it's these very junk choppers which were used as a front for middleman Chirstian Michel to be paid nearly 130 crores which according to Italian prosecutors was part of the kickbacks in VVIP chopper scam. BJP questions the Congress over the fresh revelation, asking how could it allow itself to be armtwisted by the UK.
