The CBI has registered an FIR against a senior manager of the Airport Authority of India for allegedly siphoning off more than Rs 232 crore into his personal accounts through a complex trail of fictitious accounting entries in three years during his posting at the Dehradun airport, officials said.
The alleged embezzlement by Rahul Vijay, Senior Manager, Finance and Accounts, was detected in an internal audit, which flagged abnormal capitalization of assets in the financial records between 2019-20 and 2022-23.
The Airport Authority of India constituted a committee to verify the findings, which highlighted a complex trail of fictitious accounting entries, asset inflation, and unauthorised fund transfers from the authority's accounts to Vijay's personal accounts.
