NEW DELHI, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- An Indian court Monday granted bail to India's former Air Force chief S.P. Tyagi, who was arrested earlier this month by the country's premier probe agency over allegations of corruption in a luxury helicopter deal with an Anglo-Italian company.
The special judge of the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) court, Arvind Kumar, released Tyagi, a decorated war veteran, on a personal bond of 200,000 Indian rupees (3,000 U.S. dollars) and one surety of the same amount.
But the court has imposed certain riders on Tyagi's bail like restraining him from leaving Delhi and asking him not to attempt to influence any witnesses in the case that can hamper the CBI probe. Two other accused in the same case have, however, been denied bail by the court.
