New Delhi, January 03: Two senior Defence Ministry officials, including one of Additional Secretary rank, have come under scanner as probe gathered momentum into an incident in which a secret IAF file related to multi-billion dollar aircraft deal was found by a roadside here.
Viewing the development seriously, Defence Minister A K Antony today said the officials needed to be careful while dealing with files related to the proposed procurement of Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (M-MRCA).
Last week, an IAF file related to the offsets clause in the M-MRCA deal worth over USD 11 billion had gone missing from the Defence Ministry and was recovered from the roadside in Khelgaon locality in South Delhi.
