48YO Man Wears Pilot Uniform To Skip Security Checks & Queues At Airport; Gets Arrested

Some things are just facts.

Water is wet, Pepsi is (objectively) better than Coke and crimes shouldn’t be committed under any circumstance.

Okay FINE, the middle is maybe debatable.

Key emphasis on maybe.

Sometimes, however, the way in which people attempt to commit offences before getting caught are so creative you can’t help but laugh.

Kind of like a story we have today for you.

Dress-Up Extraordinaire

Well, at least he was until he got caught.

Not sorry for the spoilers.

According to World Of Buzz, Rajan Mahbubani, 48, has been arrested for pretending to be a pilot of the German airline, Lufthansa.

I was wondering the same thing as well

The man from New Delhi wore a complete pilot uniform to skip queues and security checks but was caught 19 November evening when he tried to board a plane to Calcutta.

Again, hate the crime, (maybe) be amused at the effort.

It was reported that Rajan even has a fake pilot ID, and he has used it a couple of times to get perks at airports.

Which is weird because either the ID looks super legit or the airport just didn’t check enough.

The dude managed to get away with it for quite a while till that fateful Tuesday.

A Lufthansa employee alerted airport security that a suspect was trying to impersonate the flight captain.

He tried his best, though obviously not hard enough.

After admitting to the crime, Rajan said that he did it in order to speed through checks and get privileges.

He even dons the full uniform in his YouTube and TikTok videos! It’s almost a wonder how this impersonation hasn’t landed him in trouble before.

Rajan is now in custody facing charges of cheating and impersonating. He could be jailed for a year, receive a fine or both if found guilty.

I know I might’ve stated my amusement several times here but seriously guys, don’t ever do this.

Just because you got away with something once doesn’t mean it’ll work forever.

Also, committing crimes is wrong and you shouldn’t ever start trying.
