This has led to a few exits of senior executives including its CFO who left the airline in August.
The dispute between the two IndiGo co-founders became public in July after Rakesh Gangwal first complained to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) alleging that Rahul Bhatia indulged in questionable related-party transactions.
