Forged marksheets: DGCA chief says more arrests to come
New Delhi: Even as the
Delhi Police claim to have busted the racket that provided forged
marksheets to pilots aspiring to become commanders after arresting one
senior officer from the aviation regulator DGCA’s office, the regulatory
body’s chief thinks this might not be the last arrest as there’s more
cleaning up to do.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) chief E K Bharat
Bhushan suspects there are more people from within the regulator’s
office involved in the fake pilots’ licence scam. "We have shared more
clues with the police about DGCA officials we are suspicious about. The
clean-up drive will continue beyond this,” Bhushan told ET.According to the Delhi Police crime branch deputy commissioner, Ashok
Chand, Air India’s Captain J K Verma, who was arrested earlier during
the month for having forged his documents, helped the police get to the
bottom of the racket. However, more information is expected to come to
light when other tainted pilots namely Captain Swaran Singh Talwar,
Captain Syed Habib Ali and Captain Bhupender Singh join the
investigations On Saturday, the police arrested Pradeep Kumar, who worked as an
assistant director at the DGCA and took bribes to facilitate the process
of obtaining fake pilots’ licences from the regulator’s office. The
police have also arrested the mastermind behind this racket, Captain
Pradeep Tyagi, on Wednesday.
