The deal is said to have been brokered by former Foreign Affairs Minister Sajin Vaas Gunawardena during the Rajapaksa regime for Hayleys.

The helicopter was procured for Indian company Global Vetra through the deal between the Air Force and Hayleys.

Another revealing fact in the episode is that a helicopter belonging to Sajin Vaas was operated during the day while a Air Force chopper was used by night by the Indian company.
