Held for fleecing passengers

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, AUG. 24. Two employees of a private firm and one STD phone booth operator have been held by the Crime and Intelligence Wing personnel of the Central Industrial Security Force for allegedly overcharging foreign passengers at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here.

The two employees were working for M/s Secure Wrap and were apprehended by the CISF when they overcharged two Spanish passengers at around 11-55 p.m. on August 20. The duo -- identified as Naveen Kumar (Personal Identity Card No. B01040411D) and Sohal Lal (T/Pass No. A0341929) -- had without providing any receipt charged the two passengers Rs 200 each instead of the prescribed rate of Rs 100 for wrapping their luggage.

As the passengers complained about the conduct of the two employees in writing, they were nabbed and taken to the Airport Manager who fined Naveen Kumar a sum of Rs 100 and confiscated the identity cards and passes of both the accused.
