The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested the senior manager of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for embezzlement of funds amounting to approximately Rs. 232 crore, the agency confirmed in an official statement.

The CBI, in an official statement, said that a complaint was received by the AAI against the said accused about his engagement in a systematic scheme of fraud and embezzlement of AAI funds by manipulation of official and electronic records.

The said fraud was done by him while he was posted at the Airports Authority of India at Dehradun Airport.

“Further, public funds to the tune of approximately Rs. 232 Crore were misappropriated by him into personal accounts. During the investigation, it has emerged that in the period 2019–20 to 2022–23, the accused, while posted at Dehradun Airport, manipulated electronic records by creating duplicate and fictitious assets and inflating the values of certain assets, including by adding zeroes in entries so as to evade routine detection," the statement said.

The CBI further said that the man allegedly siphoned off an amount of approximately Rs 232 crore and transferred it to his personal bank account.

“Preliminary analysis of bank transactions further indicates that the funds so credited were thereafter transferred to trading accounts by the accused, thereby siphoning public money," the statement read.

The CBI conducted searches at the official and residential premises of the accused in Jaipur on August 28 and recovered incriminating materials, including documents on immovable properties and valuable securities.

He was arrested, and a further investigation into the matter is underway.
