Man held at Delhi airport for posing as pilot

NEW DELHI: A 24-year-old man was arrested at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here on Friday for allegedly posing as a pilot of an airline, police said.
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (IGI Airport) Usha Rangnani, the police spotted a man wearing the uniform of an airline and wandering in the metro skywalk area on Thursday. “When CISF personnel questioned him, he claimed to be a pilot of an airline, showing an ID card hanging from his neck. The staff smelled something wrong, and upon interrogation, he revealed his identity as Sangeet Singh from Noida.” 
“Investigations revealed that he had forged the ID using some online application and purchased the uniform accessories from Dwarka in New Delhi,” the DCP said. 
The police found that Singh had completed a one-year course in aviation hospitality in Mumbai in 2020. He had misled his friends and family by professing to work as a pilot, the DCP added. 
A case has been registered.
