New Delhi: A woman pilot, suspended following hard landing of a flight, has been arrested for allegedly using a forged marksheet to get a pilot’s licence, police said today.
Indigo Airline captain Parminder Kaur Gulati, 38, was held by Delhi police from her Kirti Nagar residence yesterday following a complaint filed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
She had obtained the mandatory airlines transport pilot licence (ATPL) after allegedly producing forged documents, deputy commissioner of police Ashok Chand said.
Gulati was grounded on January 11 following hard landing of an Indigo flight in Goa.
“The DGCA director of training and licencing, D.C. Sharma, had filed a complaint that Gulati had obtained an ATPL using forged documents,” he said.
During initial inquiry by the DGCA, it was found she had allegedly submitted a forged marksheet of the pilot licence examination of January 2009 for obtaining an ATPL.
“It emerged that the result card of the pilot licence examination submitted by Gulati as proof of passing air navigation and radio aids and instruments subjects in January 2009 session for obtaining ATPL licence was forged,” Chand said.
