Rafale deal | Sushen Gupta not involved, says his counsel
The Hindu
‘He has never obtained or shared any classified government documents’
Counsel of arms dealer Sushen Gupta has termed the series of reports in the French media of kickbacks in the 2016 €7.87 billion Rafale deal between India and France as “false, baseless and mischievous”. Counsel of Mr. Gupta, who is said to have received the kickbacks, said the reports seemed to be “motivated” and Mr. Gupta or his companies were “not involved” in any manner in the Rafale deal. “It is preposterous to suggest that a private individual could have influenced a government to government transaction for the acquisition of 36 Rafale jets,” counsel said in a statement. “Sushen Gupta has never obtained or shared any classified government documents.”More Related News
