Noida Police Uncover Fake Aviation Job and Admission Racket, Arrest Wanted Accused

Noida, August 22: In a significant crackdown against cybercrime, Noida Police have arrested a wanted suspect involved in a fake aviation job and admission racket. The operation was conducted by the Cyber Crime Police Station based on intelligence gathering and analysis of electronic evidence. The accused, Dr. Ajay, son of Dharmapal Singh, was apprehended in Ghaziabad on Friday.

Earlier, on July 8, police had already arrested five members of this gang, who were operating a fraudulent call center under the name of Lambodar Institute located in Sector 22, Noida. Investigations revealed that the gang lured candidates by promising jobs in reputed aviation companies and admissions in training institutes. They collected money in a phased manner under various pretexts, including online interviews, registration, admission, training, medical fees, uniforms, security deposits, and processing fees.

To make their scam appear credible, the accused posed as representatives of various aviation institutions and airlines. They even sent fake offer letters, admission confirmations, certificates, and other documents to victims, leading them to believe they had secured jobs or admissions. Consequently, victims deposited money into the bank accounts provided by the fraudsters.

During the investigation, it was discovered that the gang had created a fake website under the name of Noida International Airport. They allegedly misused the names and logos of various prestigious institutions to mislead people. The money obtained from the scams was funneled into different mule bank accounts, which the accused later divided among themselves.

According to police, a case has been registered at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Gautam Buddh Nagar. Authorities are interrogating the arrested suspect to gather information about other gang members and the broader scam network.

The police have urged the public to verify the official websites and authenticity of any company or institution before making any payments for jobs or admissions. They warned against those who pressure individuals to make immediate payments for registration, processing fees, security deposits, or training fees.
