Politics over Michel's confession

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday claimed that Christian Michel, the alleged middleman in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper case, has named Congress's Sonia Gandhi while in custody.

The ED counsel said this in the Patiala House Court today while seeking Michel's custody for eight days. The counsel claimed that during interrogation, Michel revealed Mrs Gandhi's name. However, the counsel did not elaborate what was the context in which Mrs Gandhi was named.
