CBI busts trolley racket at Mumbai airport

The CBI on Friday busted a trolley racket at the Mumbai International airport and registered a case against three persons including two Air India officials in this regard. A CBI press release said that baggage trolleys used by passengers and which were serviceable were being sold as scrap by altering/changing their number. The investigative agency has also seized a number of such trolleys.
The racket was unearthed during a surprised check, conducted by the CBI and the Vigilance wing of AI in which a contractor, Shakeel Ahmed, in connivance with two AI officials at the Sahar International Airport were lifting the baggage trolley as scrap, which were serviceable and not a part of the delivery order, the release said.
The surprise check also revealed that the accused persons would alter/change the number of serviceable trolleys with the ones declared unserviceable and take away a large number of such trolleys in excess to the scrap, the release said. A delivery order was issued by MSTC in favour of
Mumbai-based M/s Nasibdar Musahib and Co for lifting of 17 baggage trolleys as scrap, the CBI said.
