Cops play CCTV footage, court denies bail to trafficking accused

New Delhi Delhi Police on Tuesday played a 1.5-hour-long CCTV footage in a city court to prevent a Jet Airways employee, accused of operating a human trafficking racket at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), from getting bail. Consequently, the petition of the employee — who was allegedly operating in connivance with an immigration official and a policeman — was rejected.The accused, identified as Manoj Sarpal, was arrested on April 3 on charges of providing fake boarding passes to passengers sent to him through an agent in Gujarat. “We checked the footage from CCTV cameras installed at the airport. In it, the accused is clearly seen handing over boarding passes to the passengers who have already been arrested,” said a senior police officer.
Police said they went to the Dwarka court where the accused had applied for a bail, and played the CCTV footage to prove their point. “We also presented the phone call details between Sarpal and the immigration officer to prove that the accused acted in connivance with them,” the officer said. On April 3, the Delhi Police arrested Chaman Azhar, posted as immigration officer, for allegedly facilitating the travel of passengers on forged immigration stamps. Four passengers, including three women, were also arrested. They belonged to Mumbai as well as different cities of Gujarat.
