New Delhi: Describing former IAF chief S P Tyagi as a "sound professional", Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha on Tuesday said he should not have been treated like a "common criminal".
Tyagi, arrested on December 9 in AgustaWestland chopper scam case, was on Monday granted bail by a special court here.
Talking about his personal rapport with Tyagi, Raha said he has worked under him.
"I have worked with him as well. So I knew him quite well. Professionally, he is very sound and it is very unfortunate that this kind of accusations are there. It does dent our reputation. We are just hoping that the thing gets settled quickly this way or the other. Whatever is the decision of the court or the judicial process, we will go by that. We will accept it," he said.
Asked if he agreed that he should not have been kept with common criminals, Raha replied saying he agrees.
