Rel Group, Airworks officials could be questioned, say police

MUMBAI: Officials of Anil Ambani-led Reliance group and Airworks company could be called for questioning in connection with the death of Bharat Borge, a key witness to chopper sabotage case, police said.

"So far we have not issued any summons calling Reliance employees for questioning," a senior Crime Branch official said.

"However, if the need arises we can call them," the official said.

Bharat Borge, the man who found pebbles in the fuel tank of industrialist Anil Ambani's helicopter, was found dead yesterday on railway tracks between Vile Parle and Andheri suburban stations.

"Bharat Borge's body was found by police. A letter was also found along," Government Railway Police Commissioner A K Sharma told PTI. He, however, refused to divulge the contents of the letter.

Borge was a technician with Airworks, which was responsible for maintaining Ambani's helicopter.

Borge was among the first persons to have spotted the fuel cap of Ambani's helicopter open on Thursday last and on inspection found pebbles and gravel inside.
