An accused in the AgustWestland scam – known as ‘Choppergate’ – former IAF chief SP Tyagi, has received support from an unlikely quarter; a Facebook group, called ‘Support Air Chief Marshal SP Tyagi - retd’.

The group and its supporters believe the former IAF chief is being scapegoated in pursuit of political gain.

The page is followed by 1,576 people at the time of writing, and expectedly, is made up of those who think the former air chief marshal is innocent of charges that he got the operational requirements for the IAF’s VVIP choppers changed to benefit AgustaWestland in exchange for kickbacks.
