The impersonator was identified as Sangeet Singh from Uttar Pradesh’s Gautam Buddha Nagar
New Delhi:
A 24-year-old man, posing as a pilot, was caught by paramilitary forces at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on Thursday.
The impersonator, identified as Sangeet Singh from Uttar Pradesh’s Gautam Buddha Nagar, was spotted by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) strolling near the airport skywalk adorned in a pilot’s uniform. Despite lacking any credentials, Singh had misled his own family into believing that he was a commercial pilot.
Singh even sported an ID card around his neck, claiming to be an employee of Singapore Airlines.
However, upon closer inspection, it was found out that Singh’s credentials were not genuine. He had fabricated a counterfeit ID card purporting to represent Singapore Airlines, using a business card maker application. He had procured the pilot’s uniform from the Dwarka area of the national capital..
According to the police, Singh had completed a one-year aviation hospitality course in Mumbai back in 2020.
“Presenting himself as a Singapore Airlines pilot to CISF personnel, he displayed an ID card hanging from his neck. Upon interception, he was identified as Sangeet Singh in possession of a Singapore Airlines ID card for in-flight operations, which were subsequently confirmed to be counterfeit upon verification,” a senior police official told news agency IANS.
A case has been registered against the accused, he added.
