A Delhi court on Monday expressed serious concern over a missing inquiry file related to jailed AgustaWestland case accused Christian Michel James, directing Tihar authorities to locate it. This file is crucial to James' security concerns, and the court has ordered a report by July 7.

Special Judge Sanjay Jindal instructed Tihar officials to trace the document or explain why it cannot be found. The inquiry report of August 2019 on James' prison security is central to recent hearings and allegations of life threats around him.

Amidst allegations of conspiracy and threats by co-inmates, James' plea highlighted discrepancies between the inquiry's findings and witness statements. Despite bail offers, James expressed a preference to finish his sentence in India, citing security risks.
