What happened (CBI FIR registration in civil aviation)
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered a case through an FIR against a former Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) official and several aviation-related companies for alleged misuse of official position.
The FIR alleges that undue favours were extended to selected flying training organisations and that aircraft transactions were suspicious. The FIR also describes a corporate network of entities allegedly controlled and managed by immediate and extended family members of Captain Anil Gill.
Background (aviation regulator role linked to the allegations)
Captain Anil Gill is named in the FIR allegation as the DGCA director of flying training at the relevant time. The allegations connect DGCA’s flying training oversight role with aviation training organisations and aircraft transactions through an alleged family-controlled corporate network.
