The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has suspended a woman constable for allegedly strip-searching a wheelchair bound 80-year-old woman with a hip implant at the Guwahati Airport on Thursday.
The woman, flying to Delhi, was accompanied by her granddaughter. Following the episode, the woman’s daughter had expressed her displeasure over the incident on social media.
“Security and dignity of needy pax go hand in hand. CISF has already started enquiry in connection with the unfortunate incident at Guwahati airport. The concerned personnel has been suspended. DIG CISF has spoken with the passenger,” the CISF tweeted late on Thursday night.
