IndiGo staff mistreats specially-abled child; Jyotiraditya Scindia promises 'appropriate action'

On row over IndiGo not allowing child with disability to board, aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia promised "appropriate action". An IndiGo manager allegedly mistreated a specially-abled child at Ranchi airport on Saturday. The incident came to light after an eye-witness account of the incident went viral on social media.



According to Abhinandan Mishra, a passenger present at the time of the incident, the child had an uncomfortable car ride to the airport and was visibly stressed on arrival at the boarding gate. His parents, however, brought the situation under control with some food and love.


But at the time of boarding, IndiGo manager warned the family that the child would not be allowed to board the plane unless he acted 'normally'.
