Delhi Police have busted a fake airline job racket operating under the names 'Bretish Airways' and 'Future Wings Learning Institute', arresting six people including the alleged mastermind Sandeep Kumar. The racket used Instagram ads and fake websites to lure job seekers with promises of airport jobs, then charged them Rs 7,000 to Rs 10,000 as registration fees for fake aviation courses.
The Hindustan Times reported three arrests, while the Assam Tribune reported six arrests including a website developer and three tele-callers. A complainant from Chhattisgarh lost Rs 14,500, according to Hindustan Times. Gulf News reported the racket targeted Delhi airport jobseekers via an Instagram ad leading to an 'HR' call. Police have recovered laptops, phones, SIM cards and registers, and found 10 complaints on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. Investigations continue.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Hindustan Times and Assam Tribune both report the case as a standard police action, but Assam Tribune provides significantly more operational detail, naming the mastermind and the partnership structure, while Hindustan Times focuses on the three arrested at the call centre and the complainant's loss. Gulf News offers only a brief framing of the scam as 'real scam' but little specific information. The balanced reading is a well-documented investigation: the detailed Assam Tribune account suggests police have mapped the entire network, not just the call centre level. The number to watch is 10 complaints on the NCRP, which may grow.
The Assam Tribune names the mastermind Sandeep Kumar and his associate Akhil Kumar, both arrested from Noida, and describes a website developer and three tele-callers also held.
