A 32-year-old man posing as an IGI Airport employee was arrested Thursday for allegedly duping a Delhi woman of Rs 3 lakh by promising her son a cabin crew job. The accused, Rajeev Kumar, contacted the woman on social media in July 2024 and took 16 UPI payments as security deposit, documentation charges, and recruitment fees. Police traced him to Madhu Vihar, where he worked as a security guard at a quick e-commerce store. Kumar admitted to luring victims with airport job promises, then blocking them, deleting chats, and destroying the SIM card. He used the money for personal expenses and debt repayment.
