The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has sought a “factual report” from Ministry of Civil Aviation on a complaint of alleged corruption in the Rs 2,058 crore deal between Jet Airways and Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways.
The move came after BJP MP Nishikant Dubey wrote to the CVC last month alleging serious fraud to cheat the Union government and cause a huge revenue loss of Rs 500 crore to the national exchequer by Jet Airways in collusion with senior Civil Aviation Ministry officials.
The letter (of Dubey’s complaint) has been sent to Chief Vigilance Officer of Ministry of Civil Aviation to furnish a factual report to the Commission, official sources said.
