Hunt on for middleman

Vermas arrest follows that of Parminder Kaur Gulati,a pilot working with Indigo,on March 8. The two pilots were arrested after the police received a complaint from the DGCA.

Two other pilots Meenakshi Sehgal of Indigo and Swaran Singh Talwar of MDLR are absconding.

The police said it was unlikely that a pilot could procure the licence without the help of an insider. We have information that a middleman was involved in the racket. It could be a pilot also, said a senior police officer.
