Court Allows Rajiv Saxena To Travel Abroad For Medical Treatment

The Delhi High Court on Monday allowed businessman Rajeev Saxena, who has turned approver in a money laundering case related to the AgustaWestland helicopter scam, to travel outside India to receive treatment for blood cancer and other ailments, PTI reported.

Justice Anu Malhotra granted relief to Saxena, who was allegedly a middleman in the helicopter deal, by vacating the High Court’s June 4 interim order that had stayed the trial court’s June 1 decision allowing him to travel abroad.

The court, however, asked Saxena to provide the Enforcement Directorate by June 13 his travel information, including details of his hotels, hospitals, doctors, and treatment schedule. The agency will then verify the details. The businessman is expected to visit the United Kingdom, mainland European countries and the United Arab Emirates for treatment between June 25 and July 24, ANI reported.
