It alleges that the flight trials were also tweaked. The trials were conducted after Tyagi retired in 2007.
"Then they managed to introduce a comparative flight trial with non-functional engine, thus facilitating AgustaWestland helicopters, the only ones which had three engines. In this way, they managed to get the contract to AgustaWestland," the report says.
