CBI Registers Corruption Case Against Former DGCA Official and Aviation Firms
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a corruption case against former DGCA Director of Flying Training, Captain Anil Gill, and several aviation firms. The FIR alleges Gill abused his position to favor select flying training organisations, causing financial loss to others. It also claims aircraft were procured at low prices through companies linked to Gill's relatives and leased at higher rates to favored schools. The case follows a preliminary inquiry initiated in April 2025 based on a complaint by an aviation company managing director.
