Overview
- A fresh FIR was lodged on September 17 based on a complaint by Akhlesh Jain of Jaipur Airport, alleging Rs 18.12 crore was siphoned between October 2024 and February 2025.
- The accused, AAI senior manager Rahul Vijay, was arrested in August in a separate case alleging more than Rs 232 crore was diverted while he headed finance at Dehradun airport from 2019 to 2023.
- The complaint alleges he obtained administrator access, became an authorised signatory and approver, and added himself as a beneficiary at the last moment to redirect payments.
- Funds from the Jaipur account were allegedly moved to two State Bank of India accounts linked to Vijay, with one account since closed, according to AAI’s account to the CBI.
- CBI searches at his Jaipur office and residence recovered documents on properties and valuable securities, and AAI’s preliminary checks found proof of the Rs 18.12 crore transfers while flagging concerns about possible bank official involvement.
