Indigo Staff Beats Passenger On Delhi Airport. Is This The Way To Treat A Customer?

Airlines are meant to be for comfort, right? Earlier, Airlines were known for their superior hospitality and customer service, but now, things have reversed.

Recently, a video of an IndiGo passenger Rajeev Katiyal went viral on social media; in that clip, the ground staff of the airline was seen manhandling and abusing a passenger. He objected the passenger from boarding the coach and also used abusive language.

Rajeev Said,

“I was standing in the shade of a plane when a ground staff started shouting at me in a very rude manner. I asked him why don’t you arrange the third bus for which we are waiting. Meanwhile, when the bus came two people said let’s teach him a lesson and one of them pulled me out of the bus”

Mr. Katiyal was travelling from Chennai and he shared the video shot from the mobile on social media. It was sad to see how the staffer punched him and abused him. After few moments, even the passenger exchanged punches and the matter escalated.
