Defence Minister A K Antony has maintained that India will not allow any middleman in defence deals and would act sternly if any firms were found involved with the same.
''Whenever we receive any complaint of kickbacks, we take action,'' said the Defence Minister in sidelines of the inaugural function of the fifth Indian Defence Expo helld at New Delhi on Saturday.
Asked about Israeli media reports that India had nearly paid three times more for Early Warning Control System (AWACS) than the price quoted by China and that commissions were paid in the deal, Antony said "the Defence Ministry has received no such complaints."
