DGCA to probe denial of boarding to kid

RANCHI: Aviation regulator DGCA instituted a probe on Monday into IndiGo denying boarding to an anxious 13-year-old boy in a wheelchair at Ranchi airport two days ago after civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia tweeted about “zero tolerance towards such behaviour”.
“No human being should have to go through this! Investigating the matter by myself, post which appropriate action will be taken,” he said of airline staff treating the teenager as a threat to fellow passengers and barring him from a flight to Hyderabad with his parents.
The boy was “in a state of panic” and hadn’t calmed down enough to be allowed on the flight, IndiGo claimed.
