The CBI on Wednesday said it will look into the facts and circumstances mentioned in an interview of Michael Hershman, the first secret Bofors investigator of the Fairfax Group deployed by the Indian government."The agency has learnt of the matter pertaining to Bofors aired on a certain TV Channel containing interview of Michael Hershman. Facts and circumstances as mentioned in the interview will be looked into as per the due process by the CBI," CBI spokesperson Abhishek Dayal said in a statement. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) move comes a day after Republic TV's interview with Hershman, wherein he made several revelation regarding Bofors and named some powerful politicians in India linked with the deal signed between the then Rajiv Gandhi-led government and Swedish company Bofors in 1986. The deal for 410 howitzers was completed in March 1986. The alleged corruption in the Bofors guns deal had created a scandal in 1989, leading to the fall of Rajiv Gandhi government. Kickbacks were alleged, but no evidence was found.In 1986, the then Finance Minister V.P. Singh ordered an investigation. To do so, Singh got in touch with private investigation group Fairfax. Hershman, who first found the Bofors papers, was the secret investigator of the Fairfax Group, deployed by the Indian government.Now, a six-member Public Accounts Committee's sub-committee on defence, headed by Biju Janata Dal MP Bhartruhari Mahtab, is looking into non-compliance of certain aspects of the Comptroller and Audictor General's report of 1986 on the deal.
