Fake' pilot files vanish from DGCA

The fake pilot scam seems to be going the Commonwealth Games scandal way at least when it comes to the safety of the records related to the investigation. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has reported to the Delhi police that files related to some of the pilots have gone missing after it had ordered a scrutiny of licences of all the pilots in the country. "The DGCA has reported that files of two pilots are missing from its office," said DCP, (Crime Branch), Ashok Chand, who is heading the investigation.
Sources said in one case, marksheet of one of the pilots has also gone missing from the DGCA office. "A marksheet of one of the pilots, Gaurav Jain, is also missing and Crime Branch has refused to take any action against him until they are not given this document," said a source in DGCA. Jain, a native of Mandsaur in Madhya Pradesh, has been on the run after a complaint against him was given to Crime Branch by DGCA on April 1.
The DGCA officials could not be reached for comments on the missing files. "We cannot take action against Gaurav only on basis of a complaint. The marksheet, which is believed to be fake, is required to book him in criminal case," said a Crime Branch official on condition of anonymity.
