The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday suspended director of Aerosports, Captain Anil Gill, over corruption allegations, with civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia saying there is “zero tolerance to malpractices”, according to official statements.
Gill, who has been accused of corruption three times during his eight-year stint in DGCA, was shunted out as director of Flying Training (DFT) to the aerosports division on October 27 following a complaint against him.
According to a notification issued by the ministry, Gill was suspended under section 10 of the central civil services rules which allow for a government official to be placed under suspension if a disciplinary proceeding is being contemplated or pending against them.
