Pawan Hans Sale: Cayman firm’s owners’ claims don’t add up

In an interview with The Probe, Amardeep Sharma, the owner of the Cayman Islands-registered Almas Global Opportunity Fund (AGOF), claimed that the entity was eligible to bid for the government-owned helicopter service provider Pawan Hans Limited.
