New Delhi, Feb 22 (TIWN) Two days after 19-year-old shooter Manu Bhaker demanded action against Air India officials at the capital's IGI Airport for alleged harassment and seeking of bribes, the national carrier has denied the allegations against its employees.
In a statement on Sunday, the airline said that CCTV footage nullifies the claims of Bhaker over alleged seeking of bribes and snatching of her mobile phone. "Our employee Manoj Gupta was at the counter throughout and had, at no point, communicated directly with Bhaker. This is also corroborated by the CCTV footage. Hence, the allegation of misbehaviour by him simply does not arise," it said. On Friday, the Olympic quota place winner pistol ace evening alleged that she was harassed by Air India officials at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) while she was trying to board a flight from Delhi to Bhopal. The 19-year-old Haryana shooter, who was carrying two weapons and ammunition on her way to Bhopal Shooting Academy, was later allowed to board the flight.
