In an episode that can be dubbed insensitive,a 57-year-old specially abled passenger was made to give up his wheelchair at the Kempegowda International Airport in the early hours of Wednesday by ground staffers of IndiGo airlines because he was a passenger of GoFirst, The Times of India reported.
Gopal Dey, the differently abled man, was forcibly moved by the staffers saying that he was not allowed to use IndiGo’s equipment because he had booked tickets with another carrier.
Dey’s wife and son, who were travelling with him, had to hold him up and walk past the security; the delay resulted in one of them missing the flight. The family was flying to Kolkata to attend a funeral and distraught by the conduct of IndiGo’s staff.
