New Delhi: A suspended Air India traffic supervisor and a travel agent have been sentenced to two years rigorous imprisonment by a Delhi court for duping the airlines of over Rs.35 lakh by forging and refunding tickets in a two-decade-old case.

Special CBI judge V K Maheshwari also imposed a fine of Rs.50,000 each on the suspended Air India employee Arun Kumar Maurya and agent S K Khosla after holding them guilty under Section 420 (cheating), 467 (forgery) and others of the IPC and under various provisions of the Prevention of the Corruption Act.
