With the digital world abuzz, the recent suspension of Anil Gill, the director of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), is making headlines. The reason behind this action? Allegations of corruption. The DGCA and Ministry of Aviation took action against Gill, following anonymous emails accusing him of misusing his authority.
The DGCA, under the watchful eye of the Ministry of Aviation, took the drastic step against Gill after receiving unnamed emails accusing him of wrongdoing. It has been alleged that Captain Gill exploited his position to unlawfully acquire three aircraft from schools. These aircraft were then leased to various schools, each at a rental cost of Rs. 09 lakh, as per reports from reputable media outlets.
Despite this, the released statement maintains that there are no grounds for any misdemeanour. The statement assured the public that any such action would be met with stern legal measures. Following the charges levelled against him, Gill was reassigned from his role as Director FT to Director Aerosports. The allegations against him include accepting aircraft as bribes and other related issues. The order for this change was issued by the Ministry of Aviation.
The decision to suspend DGCA director Captain Anil Gill came on the heels of the flight regulator’s move to shift the corruption investigation against Gill to the Central Bureau of Investigations and the Enforcement Directorate. Additionally, the email accused Gill of extracting commission in Forex during his trips to manage dealership relations between his alleged shell companies, known as Sabres Corporate Solutions, and the aircraft manufacturer.
