The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered cases against former DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) flying training director Captain Anil Gill, along with aviation-related firms, alleging corruption and favouritism. According to the FIRs, the probe points to alleged irregularities involving procurement of training aircraft and related arrangements.
Both reports state that the FIR describes a “systematic” network of corporate entities linked to Gill’s immediate and extended family members. The allegations include that these entities—described as benami or shell firms—are managed by close relatives and are used to facilitate transactions at nominal prices. The companies named are aviation firms involved in the procurement or supply chain, which the CBI says benefited from the alleged arrangement.
The outlets broadly align on the core allegations: misuse of position to steer aircraft training procurement through closely held entities, and the involvement of aviation firms in the alleged scheme. Differences are limited to phrasing and emphasis, such as how each source characterizes the corporate network and the nature of the favouritism alleged by investigators.
