I was travelling from IndiGo flight 6E 6622 from Delhi to Bengaluru on Saturday, 6th May, 2023 from Terminal 1 at the Delhi Airport. The incident I’m recounting here is during the closed room security check (which is the norm for females) in Room ‘D’ at about 06:00 pm. The official involved in this case was Ms./Mrs. Nirmala Khileri.


The said official inserted her hand inside my pants. She could have simply asked me to show her and I would have obliged. But she just decided to insert her hand inside my pants. When I confronted her about this, she blandly said that ‘‘If I have doubt, I will check however I please.’’

We complained about it to a senior official who then called her to explain to her the situation and try to get her to apologize or at the very least, say that she will not do so again.

We stood there & talked for 10 mins but far from apologizing, there was not even a hint of remorse, guilt, regret or anything of the sort. I’m pretty sure she will continue to do so in the future if no action is taken.

I never thought I would be harassed at an airport, and that too by a woman!

She may have her uniform & she may be doing better her job but there is basic human decency that everyone should uphold which I saw missing. And the thing which offended me the most was her utter disregard on the matter even when the senior gentleman called her outside to talk.

After multiple attempts to explain the situation to her, she was still stubborn & adamant that this is how it should be done.

I would really appreciate if some immediate & serious action is taken in this regard, otherwise, I will have to pursue other, more serious routes.

Also, I would really appreciate that I’m kept updated about the issue & the further actions taken.
