New Delhi: As more high-profile names cropped up in connection with bribery allegations in the $750 million VVIP chopper deal, the Indian government on Friday put the contract with Italian firm Finmevcanica on hold and began the process to cancel it. The CBI is likely to send a team to Italy within a week to probe the alleged kickbacks paid by Finmeccanica for the deal. (IANS)
