CBI books ex-DGCA flying training director, aviation firms for ‘corruption’, ‘favouritism’
The FIR has alleged that probe brought to light a “systematic network of corporate entities” controlled and managed by the immediate and extended family members of Captain Anil Gill
The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered a case against Captain Anil Gill, former Director of Flying Training at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, and several aviation firms. According to The Indian Express, the case involves allegations of corruption, regulatory favouritism, and criminal conspiracy in granting approvals to flying training organisations.
The FIR, based on a complaint from Captain J S Dhillon of Global Avianautics Ltd, alleges that Gill abused his position to favour certain flying training organisations, causing loss to others. The Indian Express reports that Gill allegedly facilitated the purchase of training aircraft at low prices through companies controlled by his relatives, then leased them to favoured organisations at higher rates.
The Hindu reports that an investigation revealed a network of corporate entities controlled and managed by Gill's family members. The CBI has named four aviation-linked companies and several unknown public servants and private persons in the case.
