Vidarbha youths’ flying dream crashes in Manila

Nagpur: The dreams of two youngsters from Vidarbha to achieve a high-flying career as commercial pilot crash landed after they walked into the trap of a racket operating from Philippine capital Manila. The victims, who were trapped in Manila for one-and-half months, claimed that the Indian embassy in Manila did not do much when they sought help.

Sachin Dhomne, Ritesh Belekar and one of their friends were duped to the tune of around Rs 30 lakh by Mrigendersingh Sengar and his accomplice Bhavesh Chavan on the pretext of providing training as commercial pilots in their Aviation Link Asia training centre in Manila. Dhomne said he was son of a government employee and had arranged Rs 9 lakhs through bank loans that he was now struggling to repay. Belekar’s father is a railway employee, it is learnt. Police sources claimed Chavan was a son of a senior Income Tax officer.
