(PTI desk)
Congress President Rahul Gandhi today alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has admitted to "theft" in the Rafale deal before the Supreme Court and changes in the contract without asking the Indian Air Force. Yesterday, the Center submitted a 14-page document titled 'Details of the steps in the decision-making process leading to the award of 36 Rafale fighter aircraft order' to the Supreme Court.

Center's submission made public, pricing still in sealed cover
The Center disclosed to the SC the pricing details for the 36 Rafale jets that were negotiated on "better terms" and said it "completely followed" the Defence Procurement Procedure laid out in 2013 and secured approval of the Cabinet Committee on Security. The submission has since been made public. However, the pricing details provided in a sealed-cover remained in the custody of the court.
