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,” Civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said.
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).
