India-Linked ₹770 Cr Contract Sparks Controversy And Resignation
Estonia’s Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur has resigned, taking political responsibility for problems in the country’s defence sector, including a controversial ₹770 crore ammunition procurement deal with India-linked companies. The deal, which involved Italian-registered Datasel and Nagpur-based Neco Defence Munitions, was terminated due to delivery and quality concerns. Pevkur’s resignation comes amid opposition calls for him to accept responsibility for the controversy, which was first reported by Outlook Business.
