Enforcement Directorate told a Delhi court on Wednesday that it was trying to identify one "RG" whose name has appeared multiple times during the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper case probe.

"52 crores in a diary purported to be of Sushen Gupta with RG written against the amount. We want to identify who is the RG," stated the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the court while arguing for custodial interrogation of accused Gupta who was arrested after his name cropped up in the statement made by AgustaWestland acccused Rajeev Saxena.

DP Singh, counsel for ED informed the court that the probing agency wants to identify who this 'RG' is as entry of around Rs 52 crores was made. "Gupta has been misleading the investigators as he stated that the only RG he knows was Rajat Gupta but when Rajat was asked about the same Rajat accepted that he has had cash transactions with Sushen but this 52 crore transaction he denied which were made in the name of RG. The "RG" needs to be identified," Singh told the court.

The counsel for Sushen Gupta vehemently objected to the submissions made by the ED and submitted that the probing agency has got enough time to confront the accused with Khaitan and other people. "The ED is trying to pressurize the accused to admit things. Sushen Mohan Gupta has already denied the diaries,"said the counsel for ED.

Special CBI Judge Arvind Kumar allowed the agency to interrogate Gupta for three more days. The ED would also confront Sushen Gupta with Gautam Khaitan who is also an accused in the case and currently lodged in Tihar prisons.

The ED also informed the court that Ratul Puri, nephew of Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath has also been summoned by the probing agency as transactions have also been reflected in his account.

The probing agency also mentioned about names of two hawala operators; Sardar Hawala and another man who also have links with cash transactions and the same had also been mentioned in the pen drive.
