The fake pilot license scam that started with the arrest of pilots in
Rajasthan and Delhi has now found its way to Mumbai. Since the last two
days the Delhi crime branch officials are in the city to trace the touts
who made this possible. "While questioning Verma he gave us names of
two touts from Mumbai with whom he was regularly in touch,” says a Delhi
police official on conditions of anonymity. "He told us that the touts
were recommended to him by his co-pilots for smooth facilitation of his
ATPL. We have also questioned DGCA officials in the exam department in
the past two days,” says the official.
