A major fraud has surfaced in the aviation training scenario in India, according to a news report published in Bangalore Mirror daily(Jan 29, 2008 issue).
The head of a newly formed pilot training organization, Career Aviation Institute, near airport road, Bangalore has gone missing with the fee collected from about 20 pilot students amounting to Rs 47 lakhs. The first batch of students who came to join the institute from all over India in 2006 with dreams of flying never gone beyond some ground classes at the institute. Now they've filed a petition against Capt Krishna Prashant, who still is absconding.
A scanned copy of the daily with the details of the cheating is posted in the Indian Aviators Yahoo Group some days back by Mr. Mayur Poddar an aviator at Vancouver, Canada.

On October 16, 2007, we had reproduced a report by UNI of a press conference by this Capt Krishna Prashant, originally published in the Siasat Daily. Just like UNI & the Daily we too could not see through the fraud then.
