PV Sindhu slams Indigo official over ‘rude behaviour’, finds support on Twitter

This is not the first time sports personalities have faced such behaviour at airports. Sachin Tendulkar has been a victim of this in the past

After Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh, another sports personality who had an unpleasant airport experience is ace badminton player PV Sindhu. The renowned Rio silver medalist slammed an Indigo official recently for misbehaviour and harassment. After that, the Indigo Airlines officials went on record to deny misconduct on their part and revealed the fact that Sindhu was carrying luggage that was heavy and violating the law which means she was wrong on her part.

The Olympic silver medalist was flying to Mumbai for an event when the incident occurred. The World number 2 on Saturday, November 4, took to Twitter and lambasted Indigo airlines for the ‘rude behaviour’. Sindhu tweeted, “Sorry to say ..i had a very bad experience when i was flying by 6E 608 flight to bombay on 4th nov the ground staff by name Mr ajeetesh(1/3)”.

Here’s her tweet:

In another post, Sindhu wrote, “Ground staff (skipper) mr ajeetesh behaved very badly and rudely with me. When the air hostess Ms ashima tried to advise him to behave properly with the passenger (me) but to my surprise he behaved very rudely with her. If this type of people work for a rupted (reputed) airline like indigo they will spoil their reputation @IndiGo6E”.

Earlier she referred to present day Mumbai as Bombay and hence rectifying that she wrote.

Indigo, you should come out with an explanation and punish the staff if guilty.
