According to news agency PTI, the Airports Authority of India Ltd had formed a joint venture with GVK Airports Holdings Ltd under public-private partnership firm MIAL for the upgradation and maintenance of Mumbai airport.

As per the CBI FIR, the accused siphoned funds worth Rs 310 crore by showing execution of bogus work contracts with nine private companies, reports said.

"The promoters of the GVK Group of Companies with criminal intention to cause loss to AAI, used the surplus funds of MIAL to the tune of (Rs) 395 crore to finance their other group companies between 2012 and 2018," the FIR further reportedly said, besides alleging inflation of expenditure.
