VVIP Chopper Case: No trial in 11 years, co-accused passes away
Former IAF official Group Captain Navyath Santosh, who was charged in the ₹3,600 crore VVIP chopper case, passed away last month. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been investigating the case for over eleven years, but the trial has not yet begun. The CBI moved an application to segregate the trial in December 2022, arguing that the accused cannot be denied their right to speedy trial.
