An internal inquiry conducted by the DGCA in connection with a sexual harassment case against its officer KL Meena, has found merit in the case. A junior woman officer in August 2014 had complained about sexual harassment by Meena.

Though no official police complaint has been lodged against Meena, the DGCA has stopped the increment of the erring officer for three years. “This was penalty recommended by the internal inquiry committee and the UPSC,” said a senior DGCA official from Delhi. Meena is currently director of air safety of DGCA (Mumbai). He was posted in Delhi when the complaint was lodged. After the complaint Meena was transferred to Mumbai.
