NEW DELHI: A Canadian employee of a private airline was abducted and robbed after he boarded a taxi from the airport that had offered to drop him to the parking area where a cab sent by his company was waiting.
The victim, Mohammad Mehdi Ghazanfani, told the police that he had reached Terminal 1 around midnight on July 12 and was provided a hired cab by his company. When he called up the taxi service, he was asked to reach the parking area designated for the airline. Ghazanfani found a cab driver and asked him for the way to the parking and was told that it was about 100 metres away from the terminal building.
