Six arrested for running fake airline job racket; victims from Delhi, neighbouring States
Six accused ran call centre from Noida, posing as airline HR executives to collect ₹7,000–₹10,000 from job aspirants in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh.
Six individuals have been arrested for operating a fraudulent airline job scheme, targeting job seekers from Delhi, Chandigarh, Haryana, and Punjab. The alleged ringleaders and accomplices posed as HR executives at a fictitious airline called Bretish Airways, offering positions to young job applicants who had to enroll in a non-existent aviation institute.
The fraudsters allegedly collected fees ranging from ₹7,000 to ₹10,000 from each victim, using the details provided to create false documents such as admission slips and job offers. The scheme was uncovered when a resident of Paharganj, Vikas Kumar, noticed an Instagram advertisement and realized he had been deceived after failing to receive a diploma in aviation.
Additional DCP-II Prashant Choudhary stated that the investigation traced the payments to the accused, leading to the arrest of the mastermind Sandeep Kumar, 23, and his associate Akhil Kumar, 27, as well as two telecallers and a website developer. The police have seized various devices and documents related to the scam.
