Major General (retired) Birender Dhanoa, who claimed on Twitter he was ‘bumped off my paid seat’ on an IndiGo flight to make way for some former bureaucrat and party’, rejected the airline’s explanation that a ‘group of four elderly passengers, who had walking issues, inadvertently selected emergency row at the time of check-in. ’
“Sorry don’t buy that. They walked off the plane all sprightly. Be honest in your admission of whatever it was you were up to. We aren’t gullible fools. It was at the boarding gate that I was told about the switch, after check in and bag drop. No attempt was made to info me prior,” the former army officer said on Twitter.
Major General (retired) Dhanoa further sought to know from the Gurugram-headquartered carrier why should he be inconvenienced for someone else’s mistake.
