‘Touched, hugged, thanked’: Air India SATS staff member gropes South Korean woman during frisking at Bengaluru airport; arrested
BENGALURU: A 32-year-old businesswoman from South Korea accused an airline ground-handling staff member of sexual harassment at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) here Monday. In the name of “manual frisking”, the accused allegedly touched her inappropriately, hugged her and thanked her.
The woman, who arrived in India on a tourist visa in November, was returning to her home country when the incident took place in the international departure area of Terminal 2 of the airport. The accused, Mohammed Affann Ahmed, 25, from Kammanahalli, is not authorised to conduct frisking. He was arrested and sent to Central Jail in Parappana Agrahara on Tuesday.
