New Delhi: Delhi Police on Tuesday arrested five people for duping people under the pretext of getting them jobs at the Airports Authority of India (AAI).

"Accused persons used to give advertisements on social media platform (Facebook) regarding airport jobs in which the job seekers provide their details in the comment box," one official said.

"Thereafter accused persons used to contact them and further induced them through fake job letters. They also run a call centre in a rented office in Khora Colony, Ghaziabad, UP. On the allurement to the public at large, they received a huge number of calls from job aspirants. The tele-caller after assuring the victims of a direct job in Airports Authority of India (AAI), asked him to deposit Rs 1,050 as registration charges for a job in the AAI in a different bank account," the official said.
