The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has told the Delhi High Court that Christian Michel James, the alleged middleman in the Rs 3,600-crore VVIP chopper scandal, has "apparent influence" on the British High Commission, referring to an "unsigned" letter the commission had sent to a special CBI judge earlier this year.
Opposing his bail plea before the HC recently, the agency said Michel's "attempts to adversely influence the investigation and judicial proceedings are evident from the unprecedented action of the British High Commission which sent an unsigned letter on May 10, 2021, to the special CBI judge praying for (his) release ..."
It said the letter had also cited medical grounds for his release, which Michel himself had not sought for bail before the special CBI court judge.
