New Delhi: The Jet-Etihad deal is in trouble again. The government’s anti-corruption body Central Vigilance Commission is looking into allegations by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey of corruption in the Rs 2,058-crore deal between the two airlines, and has sought an explanation from the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
CVC sources told Business Line that the commission will wait for the reply from the Ministry before taking a final decision on the issue. A CBI probe into the deal was also not ruled out. In a recent letter to the Prime Minister, Dubey said the “sequence of events and ever willingness” of the Government to remove barriers for the Indian carrier to complete its deal with Etihad was “curious” since the ownership of Jet Airways is shrouded in mystery.
