New Delhi, 18 December: The Cyber Police of Shahdara district in Delhi have cracked a major scam involving fake job offers in airlines. The police have arrested the main accused, Rohit Mishra, who was defrauding people by promising jobs in Air India and Vistara.
Police recovered mobile phones, forged documents, and digital evidence from the accused.
The case was registered under FIR number 104/25 at Cyber Police Station, Shahdara, under Section 318(4) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The complainant, Ritu Singh, informed the police that she was duped after receiving emails from a fake ID and subsequent calls and messages from the mobile number 7596949756. The accused extorted money from her in the name of job processing, uniform, and other formalities.
Following preliminary inquiries that revealed a cyber fraud, the police promptly registered the case and began their investigation. Considering the seriousness of the matter, a special team was formed comprising SI Ajay Bhatt, Head Constable Dhanesh, Anuj, Vikas, and Constable Prabhu Dayal. The operation was led by Inspector Vijay Kumar (SHO, Cyber Shahdara) under the supervision of ACP Mohinder Singh.
The police team analysed call detail records (CDR), technical surveillance, and digital footprints. During the investigation, the accused was traced to Aditya World City in Ghaziabad, where 35-year-old Rohit Mishra was arrested.
From the accused, a Redmi 10 mobile phone was seized. The active number on this phone was linked to an Axis Bank account where the defrauded money was deposited. The phone also contained a WhatsApp profile named ‘Air Vistara’ displaying Vistara’s logo, along with multiple QR codes, fake Letters of Intent (LOI), and other forged documents.
Police investigations revealed that Rohit Mishra had been involved in fraud cases before. Serious cases related to cheating and forgery were filed against him by the Delhi Crime Branch in 2018 and 2019.
Currently, the police are conducting a thorough investigation into the entire racket. They are identifying other accomplices, tracing the flow of money, and analysing digital evidence to recover the defrauded amount. The police have appealed to the public to remain cautious about such job-related emails and calls and to verify thoroughly before paying any fees.
