Four employees of Air India SATS (AISATS) and an Indian passenger were arrested at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport for alleged involvement in a human trafficking operation. CISF personnel uncovered the suspicious activity when immigration officials flagged a UK-bound passenger's doubtful documents. Further scrutiny via CCTV footage showed AISATS staffers at the check-in counter using invalid documents to facilitate boarding for the passenger and two others. The four staffers - Rohan Verma, Mohammad Jahangir, Yash, and Akshay Narang - along with passenger Diljot Singh were handed to police. AISATS CEO Sanjay Gupta said the company played a key role in working with authorities to thwart the trafficking attempt. The arrests come after a recent case where a charter jet to Nicaragua was grounded in France over trafficking concerns.
