Officers found Mudassar and a minor inside the car.
"When questioned, Mudassar produced an identity card similar to that issued by the National Investigation Agency. The card appeared suspicious and both were brought to the police station for detailed questioning," a senior police officer said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused had allegedly been targeting economically vulnerable families in Jammu and Kashmir by promising employment in Delhi in exchange for money, he said.
"Mudassar had assured the minor boy's family of arranging a job for him and taken an advance payment before bringing him to Delhi," the officer added.
Police said they left Kashmir on February 12 and reached Delhi on the night of February 13, and were staying at a guest house in the Jama Masjid area. The accused claimed he has contacted some people to arrange for a job for the minor but failed to produce any documentary proof.
Joint interrogation with the Special Cell, Intelligence Bureau and the central agency concerned established that the identity card was forged and no such card had been issued.
A case has been registered and further investigation is underway, police said.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
