Without the approval of the CM of Gujarat, Ajay traveled and showed expenditure of crores of rupees in the government’s account.

Annual commission of 4.80 crores in the name of maintenance
The maintenance of Gujarat government’s new 650 Challenger jet aircraft is around Rs 50 lakh every month. On the contrary, the maintainers used to bill the higher amount from the company and enter Rs 90 lakh on the records. In this way, the government was defrauded of Rs 40 lakh every month, about Rs 4.80 crore in a year.

Fake bills worth lakhs of rupees were also made in the name of repair.

In 2019 itself, the Airbus company sent a report to the Civil Aviation Department of the state saying that the helicopter’s blade (fan) has cracked and rusted to a great extent, the helicopter’s engine needs to be changed as soon as possible. When the Airbus company gave this very serious alert report, the contract for the maintenance of the Chief Minister’s helicopter was with a Noida-based company named Indocopter. Captain Ajay suppressed the Airbus report to benefit the company.
