"Shaken My Trust": Man Thrashed By Pilot At Delhi Airport To NDTV
The man thrashed by an Air India Express pilot at Delhi Airport has said that the incident has "shaken his trust" in the airline safety.
Ankit Dewan on December 19 claimed that he was physically assaulted near Delhi Airport's Terminal 1 security checkpoint by Air India Express captain Virender Sejwal, who was off duty at the time and travelling as a passenger. According to his police complaint, the fight began after Dewan objected to some airline staff members allegedly jumping the queue. He said the pilot abused and assaulted him, leaving him bloodied.
"It has shaken my trust. Now, who is allowed to fly an aircraft or not, that I am not really qualified to comment on. But it definitely shakes your confidence because airports, we consider, have so much security; even going inside is not easy for anybody. So it definitely shakes your trust that one has to face a physical assault at the airport itself," Dewan told NDTV on Tuesday.
