Amitabh Bachchan reacts to Bofors whistle-blower's revelations
The main whistle-blower in the Bofors scam has said, 25 years after the scandal shook India and Sweden, that Amitabh Bachchan's name was planted by Indian investigators in the case. In an interview to the website thehoot.org, Sten Lindstrom, the former head of the Swedish policy, admits he was the "Deep Throat" who leaked more than 300 documents to journalist Chitra Subramaniam who first broke the story. Mr Lindstrom says that Indian investigators during a visit to Sweden in 1990 "planted the Bachchan angle."
