In a stunning twist in the years-long controversy over the deal between India and France to procure the Rafale multi-role fighter, a new report published by Mediapart on Sunday stated that evidently false invoices enabled French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation to pay at least 7.5 million euros in alleged secret commissions to a middleman during the negotiations for the deal at a time when the UPA government was in-charge. The report named one Sushen Gupta whose Mauritius-based company Interstellar Technologies was allegedly paid by Dassault during the years 2007 to 2012 when the deal was being negotiated.

At that time, the deal had involved negotiations for 126 Rafale fighter jets, 108 of which were to be manufactured in India with technology transfer, which never actually transpired as the Modi government pivoted instead to an inter-governmental deal to buy 36 fighters after coming into power. The report also claims that the CBI and ED have had documents pertaining to these illicit payments since 2018, having come across them while probing the AgustaWestland 'Choppergate' scam, but have not probed into the alleged payments in the Rafale deal.
