ADAG withdraws contract with Air Works

Mumbai: Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group has withdrawn its agreement with Air Works Engineering India, which had the maintenance contract for Ambani's chopper.
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) company Reliance Transport & Travels alleged a possible sabotage attempt by business rivals of chairman Anil Ambani after the junior Ambani's Bell 412 helicopter had been tampered with.
It was noticed that the filler cap fitted on the combining gear box at the top of the helicopter did not appear to be fitted in a correct position.
The filler cap, which is about 10 feet from the ground, was then opened by Bharat Borge, a senior technician. There were pebbles and gravel in the filler neck.
Air Works Engineering India, which had the maintenance contract for Ambani's chopper, reported the incident at its Mumbai airport facility on April 23rd.
Bharat Borge, the technician who discovered the plot to sabotage industrialist Anil Ambani's chopper last Thursday was found dead Tuesday under mysterious circumstances.
