CBI Registers Corruption Case Against Former DGCA Director and Aviation Firms
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a corruption case against Captain Anil Gill, former Director of Flying Training at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), and several companies. The FIR alleges Gill abused his position to favor select flying training organisations by facilitating the purchase of aircraft at low prices through entities linked to his relatives, which were then leased at higher rates to favored schools. The case follows a preliminary inquiry initiated in April 2025 based on a complaint by an aviation firm executive.
