A day after searches by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with Rs 805 crore scam, the Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) said that they are ‘surprised’ by the case against them and would have explained to the agency and provided necessary documents if a preliminary inquiry was conducted.
In a statement to India Today, MIAL spokesperson said, “We would have provided every assistance had the agency sought explanation or any document even if a preliminary inquiry had been initiated. MIAL is a transparent and responsible corporate entity that is committed to cooperating with the agency in its investigation to arrive at the truth”.
The agency has filed an FIR against G Venkata Krishna Reddy, Chairman of the GVK Group of Companies, GV Sanjay Reddy, Managing Director of the Mumbai International Airport Limited, officials of the Airport Authority of India and nine other private firms on the allegations of irregularities to the tune of Rs 805 crore.
The CBI’s case is on the basis of a ‘source-based information’ in which it has been alleged that over Rs 805 crore was siphoned off by the accused “causing wrongful gain of over Rs 805 crore to themselves and causing a loss to the public exchequer between 2012-2018.”
The Central Bureau of Investigation had also conducted searches in Mumbai and Hyderabad in connection with the Rs 805 crore scam involving GVK Group and Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) and other private firms.
