  • Call‑centre in Noida posed as airline HR
  • Collected ₹7,000‑₹10,000 per victim as fake registration fee
  • Six suspects apprehended, equipment seized

How the Scam Operated

Delhi Police uncovered a fraud ring operating from a modest office in Sector‑62, Noida. Three young women, aged 20‑25, presented themselves as HR executives of a non‑existent airline and offered jobs at Indira Gandhi International Airport. Prospects were told they must enrol in the fictitious “Future Wings Learning Institute” before joining, and were asked to pay a “registration” or “admission” fee of ₹7,000‑₹10,000.

Victim’s Story That Triggered the Probe

On June 10, Vikas Kumar of Mantola, Paharganj, saw an Instagram ad for a job with “Bretish Airways.” After submitting his details, a woman calling herself Karishma contacted him, collected his PAN, Aadhaar, marksheets and resume via WhatsApp, and demanded a ₹7,000 UPI transfer for a mandatory aviation diploma. He received a fabricated admission slip, a No‑Objection Certificate and a job offer, but when the calls stopped, he realized he had been scammed.

Police Action

Additional DCP‑II (Central) Prashant Choudhary explained that analysis of the mobile number, UPI transaction and website registration led investigators to a rented office at Gaur City Centre Mall, Noida. Mastermind Sandeep Kumar, 23 and associate Akhil Kumar, 27 were arrested on August 18, followed by website developer Rakesh Kumar, 47 and the three tele‑callers Shweta, Sapna and Sakshi.

Seized Assets

The raid yielded two laptops, eight mobile phones, eight SIM cards registered to the tele‑callers and two registers containing personal data of job seekers. Ten victims have been identified so far, though officials suspect many more remain unreported.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that such scams exploit the aspirational job market of North India, eroding trust in legitimate recruitment channels and prompting stricter digital verification norms across the aviation and education sectors.

“Advanced data‑tracing techniques were pivotal in cracking this case, underscoring the need for robust cyber‑forensic capabilities,” said cyber‑crime analyst Ajay Singh.
