A 24-year-old man was arrested on Thursday for allegedly impersonating a Singapore Airlines pilot after he was spotted wandering in the Metro Skywalk area at the national capital’s Indira Gandhi International Airport wearing the airline’s uniform.
The incident came to light after the man presented himself as a Singapore Airlines pilot to a CISF officer and showed his fake ID card.
Upon interrogation, it was learnt that the man in possession of a Singapore Airlines ID card for in-flight operations was identified as Sangeet Singh, a resident of Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. It was later confirmed that the ID card he was using was counterfeit.
Investigations revealed that the man had forged the IDs using an online app called Business Card Maker. In order to impersonate himself as Singapore Airlines pilot, the man also purchased the uniform and accessories of the airlines from Pilot 18, Sector 9, Dwarka, New Delhi.
Further inquiry disclosed that he had completed a one-year Aviation Hospitality course in Mumbai in 2020 and had misled his family and acquaintances by professing to work as a pilot for Singapore Airlines.
A case under sections 420/468/471 IPC was registered against the accused, who has since been apprehended.
