* Fake marksheets : Air India pilot arrested in the capital

[Sidhu...Sidhaarth Roy]

New Delhi, Mar 13: An Air India pilot has been arrested in the capital for allegedly using forged marksheets to procure a licence, the second pilot to be nabbed in the last four days, as a worried DGCA set in motion fresh scrutiny of licenses of nearly 4,000 pilots.

Close on the heels of arrest of a suspended Indigo woman pilot, Delhi police apprehended Captain J K Verma here late last night following investigations into a complaint filed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) which claimed that some of the pilots had faked marksheets to get their licence.

"We have arrested Verma. Investigations are on. We have been provided more names by the DGCA. The scanner is on two more pilots Meenakshi Sehgal of Indigo and Swaran Singh Talwar of MDLR," a senior police official said. Verma is in his 40s.
