Warning not to deal with Ravi Rishi co withdrawn mysteriously

New Delhi: The helicopter company belonging to arms dealer Ravi Rishi, who has been named an accused in the Tatra Truck deal, had come under the scanner of Indian intelligence agencies two years ago, which recommended against giving any government business to it, but the warning was mysteriously withdrawn.
The nation's external intelligence agency RAW had in January 2010 advised oil PSU Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) against giving any business to the Global Vectra Helicorp Ltd but exactly a month later withdrew the advisory saying it was sent by mistake.
When contacted R. S. Sharma, who was the Chairman and Managing Director of ONGC when the advisory was sent, acknowledged receiving a communication but said it was withdrawn.
ONGC, which had been hiring helicopters from Global Vectra for ferrying its employees to oil and gas installations off both east and west coast, awarded a contract for 8 helicopters.
