Delhi Police : Pilots fudged logbook, increased flying hours: Police

The Crime Branch of Delhi Police, investigating the case of pilots who obtained flying licences on fake documents, has stumbled upon another act of forgery by the accused.
Police said many pilots fudged the logbook and increased the number of flying hours in connivance with Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) officials. “Though it was not part of the complaint given to us by the DGCA, we found that several pilots fudged the logbook and increased the flying hours to get licences,” said a senior police officer.
The police said the licence racket was being run from 2008. They are investigating for how long the “fudging of logbook” has been taking place.
On Saturday, Crime Branch sleuths arrested four men, including a DGCA official, for providing forged marksheets of Air Navigation and Radio Aids & Instruments to the pilots on the basis of which the accused got Airline Transport Pilot Licence. One of the arrested pilots, Pradeep Tyagi — said to be the kingpin — had allegedly fudged his flying hours as well.
