The government on Wednesday suspended an officer at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Anil Gill, following allegations of bribery, which included accepting three training aircraft from flying schools and then leasing them out for ₹90 lakh each annually.
“There is zero tolerance to malpractices. Any such issue will always be dealt with the strictest measures in accordance with the law,” Union Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia said in a statement on the Government Order announcing Mr. Gill’s suspension.
The officer was in-charge of flight training at the DGCA, and was transferred to a different department following a complaint from an anonymous whistleblower.
