According to a story, an Indian low-cost airline is under criticism after denying boarding to a crippled kid because employees warned his parents the boy would be a risk to other customers.
After a passenger on an aircraft to Hyderabad detailed the incidence on Facebook, it was brought to light at the Ranchi airport on Saturday.
“By the time he’d cleared security and arrived at the gate nearly an hour before boarding, he appeared to be suffering from hunger, thirst, anxiety, and confusion.” His parents clearly knew how to handle his tantrum with tolerance, cajoling, sternness, and plenty of cuddles. Other passengers came over to see if they needed any assistance or support. The #indigoairlines employees noticed this and approached the three, warning them that if the youngster did not calm down and become normal, they would not be allowed to board,” Manisha Gupta stated.
As boarding began, she reported how other passengers voiced their support for the family and their son.
There is zero tolerance towards such behaviour. No human being should have to go through this! Investigating the matter by myself, post which appropriate action will be taken. https://t.co/GJkeQcQ9iW

A group of physicians was also traveling on the same airplane. They requested the ground crew to summon the airport doctor, who would assess the child’s fitness to travel.
They pledged full support to the boy and his parents in the event of a medical emergency while in the air.
The boy was sitting silently in a wheelchair, terrified by the way he was being identified as a danger to society.

Even though the mother pleaded from the other side of the glass door, the security guard shut and fastened the boarding gate with an iron padlet and chains.
