JOIN USThe Delhi Police have issued a lookout notice against three pilots and a flying instructor to ensure they did not flee the country. The notices were issued by the Delhi Police’s crime branch against pilots Swaran Singh Talwar of MDLR, Syed Habib Ali and Bhupinder Singh for allegedly being involved in forging marksheets to procure flying licences, a senior police official said on Monday.
“The three persons possess licences but have not joined any airline. Similar notice has also been issued against a flying instructor D Asatkar,” the official added.
All airports and ports have also been put on high alert. The arrested DGCA official told the police he had processed files relating to around 60 licences in the past two years. The pilots had procured Airlines Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) using fake documents.
“One has to clear three subjects—Aviation Meteorology, Radio Aids and Instruments and Air Navigation—to get ATPL to become a Commander of a plane. However, these pilots failed in one or the other papers,” the official said.
