IGI AIRPORT, Indira Gandhi International Airport Police has exposed a big case of fraud. In this case of fraud, the person who was assigned to help the passengers was actually doing the work of ‘injuring’ the troubled passengers. This person along with his companion has been arrested by the IGI Airport Police. The identity of both the accused is Aditya Raj and Rahul Singh. IGI Airport Police has registered a case against both of them under section 420 of IPC and sealed their bank accounts.
According to DCP Usha Ranganani of IGI Airport, on January 28, 2024, the airport terminal manager had given a complaint that a person was cheating people by claiming to be an airport employee. This person is preying on those people who have mistakenly left their luggage at the airport and gone home. It was told in the complaint that this person used to call people and tell them that their lost luggage has been found and to get it back they will have to pay courier fees.
The airport terminal manager also said in his complaint that many passengers have fallen prey to this and have paid through UPI. Once the payment is received, this person switches off his mobile phone. In the last few days, this person has committed such fraud with four passengers. Based on the complaint of the terminal manager, the airport police registered an FIR and started investigating the matter. To investigate the case, a team was formed under the leadership of SHO Yashpal Singh of IGI Airport Police Station, which also included SI Savin Kharb, Head Constable Vishwajit Singh and Vineet.

Aditya Raj also told during interrogation that Rahul Singh works in the helpline call center at IGI Airport to help the passengers.
