Airport Job Scam Uncovered: Fraudster Nabbed in Delhi

Delhi police apprehended a man for allegedly scamming job seekers with false employment promises at the Delhi airport. The accused, Manoj, lured victims into paying registration fees before disappearing. A complaint led to his capture following an extensive investigation and multiple raids in various areas.

In a significant breakthrough, Delhi police have arrested a 33-year-old man named Manoj for allegedly deceiving numerous job seekers by offering fake employment opportunities at the Delhi airport, an official confirmed on Sunday.

The arrest followed a detailed investigation prompted by a complaint on the NCRP portal from an RK Puram resident. The complainant alleged he lost Rs 20,500 to a fraudster posing as an airport recruiter, promising him a lucrative job with a monthly salary of Rs 35,000.

Manoj, who primarily targeted unemployed individuals seeking airport jobs, swindled amounts ranging from Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000. Despite the small sums, many victims declined to report the scam. After intensive raids across Mahipalpur, Rangpuri, Palam, and Bijwasan, the suspect was apprehended and further investigations are ongoing.
