New Delhi: The director of a fake tour company, who duped central government employees on pretext of providing cheap LTC travel packages, has been arrested.
Aftab Ahmed Siddiqui (24) alias Rajeev Kumar has a bachelors degree in computer applications and four years experience of working in a travel company. He recently suffered losses in the stock market and scouted for mail ids on government websites.
Kumar has duped close to 50 people and landed in the police dragnet after a senior programmer of Jamia Millia University and a government official from south Delhi both complained of having been cheated. They lost Rs 65,000 and Rs 1.8 lakh, respectively.
"On March 5, a complaint was received from the university programmer, Israr Ahmed, who said he had received an e-mail from one Rajeev Kumar who claimed to be the director of Wind Holiday Tours on January 22 regarding a cheap LTC package. He paid Rs 65,000 in two instalments. Kumar delivered an Air India flight ticket to Israr three days after payment," DCP (Central) Alok Kumar said.
