Two Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials posted in Srinagar International Airport are under the CBI scanner for causing a loss of around Rs 6.80 crore for allowing two private firms to operate a lounge as well as stalls and outlets selling dryfruits, Kashmiri handicraft and shawls among others illegally.
The CBI has registered separate FIRs last week against AAI Manager (Commercial) Praveen Kumar Kanojia, Junior Assistant Engineer Aijad Abdullah, Mumbai-based PK Global Pvt Ltd Vice President Virendra Aggarwal among others in the two cases.
According to one of the FIRs, the two AAI officials allegedly entered into a criminal conspiracy with PK Global Trends Pvt Ltd to allot booths and outlets for selling dry fruits, gift items, eatables, Kashmiri handicraft, shawls to the company "in highly cryptic manner without obtaining relevant documents as mentioned in the tender and also without fulfilling necessary documentation".
This led to a loss of Rs 6.33 crore to the exchequer, it said. The area allotted to the company for running booths was on "higher side" as compared to terms and conditions. "The additional area allotted to the said firm as a benefit to it could have otherwise generated additional revenue," it said.
