The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday suspended its director over corruption allegations.
“There is zero tolerance to malpractices. Any such issue will always be dealt with the strictest measures in accordance with the law,” the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry’s decision to suspend DGCA director Captain Anil Gill comes days after the aviation regulator moved the ministry to transfer the case of bribery against him to the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The ministry and DGCA had received an anonymous email levelling allegations against Gill, who was recently reassigned to the aerosports department.
It was earlier reported that the email alleged that Gill forcefully made a company named Skynex Aeroflight Solutions (an approved FTO by DGCA) to send him to the Czech Republic for training on Piper PA-28 Aircraft, which was not required for his role.
