A 60-year-old pilot with IndiGo Airlines was allegedly abducted, held hostage in a private cab, and robbed of cash and ATM cards by a group of four men after he was offered a short ride to the parking lot at the IGI Airport from Terminal 1 in the early hours of Saturday.
The pilot, Mohammad Mehdi Ghazanfani, is a Canadian national of Indian origin and lives with his wife in Gurugram, the police said.
Ghazanfani in his complaint said that the suspects were carrying a knife, sized about 40 cm. He alleged that the cab-borne robbers forced him to hand over his ATM card and Canadian VISA card, and reveal their PIN numbers.
