Alleged fraudster with multiple fake IDs arrested from Delhi airport

The CISF on Saturday arrested Akash Babu, an alleged fraudster, for possessing multiple fake IDs of the Civil Aviation Ministry and the AAI from the Delhi Airport. He duped people on the promise of getting them jobs at the facility and was detained from the foyer area of the third terminal of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport, a CISF spokesperson said.

"He produced two airport photo ID cards of different agencies which seems to be forged. One of the identity card was of the Ministry of Civil Aviation while the other one was of air traffic control service of the Airports Authority of India (AAI)," the spokesperson said.

Officials found his behaviour suspicious and hence intercepted him. After contacting the numbers on his call records, it was found that the man had cheated an IndusInd Bank ATM staffer of ₹ 9 lakh "for securing a job for him at the airport". He was then turned over to the Delhi Police for further investigation on the complaint of the bank employee.

CISF is deployed at IGI to provide counter-terror protection to the busy airport.
