NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian police investigating the AgustaWestland bribery case raided homes and business premises in the New Delhi area and two other cities on Wednesday after formally launching a probe into the helicopter firm and its parent company, Finmeccanica.

The government will take the "strongest possible action" if the investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) finds wrongdoing, junior defence minister Jitender Singh told parliament as the raids were under way.
