Let us tell you that the Ministry and DGCA had received an anonymous email, in which many serious allegations were made against Gill. The emails allege that Gil forced a company called Skynex Aeroflight Solutions to send him to the Czech Republic for training on Piper PA-28 aircraft, which was not required for his role.
At the same time, complaints against Gill came to light when five aircraft of Redbird Aviation, the largest flight school, crashed due to engine failure in the last six months. Its investigation found that the planes were not properly maintained and the trainers were not following critical safety regulations of the DGCA.
