    The CBI has registered a case against a former official of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Captain Anil Gill, and several aviation-related companies for allegedly abusing official position, extending undue favours to select flying training organisations, and facilitating suspicious aircraft transactions. The case involves Gill's family members and close relatives who were directors or shareholders in these companies.
