16 pilots, 400 aircraft engineers cheated of Rs 20 cr by job firm

New Delhi: The Delhi Police unearthed a job placement fraud with the arrest of two people, who allegedly duped 400 aircraft maintenance engineers and 16 pilots to the tune of Rs 20 crore.
The men, police said, had started a company, Blue Star Aviation Services (BSAS) Ltd, in August 2011 and advertised in newspapers for pilot training and providing technical expertise to aircraft maintenance engineers. The company promised jobs with foreign airlines.
After the arrest of Sushil Kumar and H C Yadav, both senior officials with BSAS, police have also obtained non-bailable warrants against two directors of the company — Sahil Kumar and Om Prakash. Police said an FIR in the case was registered by pilots in August last year, and another FIR was registered in March at the Dwarka police station.
