Bahrain Air staff accused of harassment

Yogesh Sachde, 28, has lodged a complaint against the staff of Bahrain Air at Sahar police station on Friday.

Sachde, a resident of Mulund, alleged that the staff caused him mental harassment and humiliation by not issuing him a boarding pass despite him having a confirmed ticket to Bahrain on October 23.

Sachde, who works as a senior sales executive in Bahrain, says, “I was travelling on a confirmed ticket.  On reaching the airport, I found out that 16 passengers including me were not being allowed to board the flight for which tickets has already been confirmed. The staff of Bahrain Air was rude and asked us to leave the airport.”

He alleged that the passengers were not given any clear explanation for the boarding passes not being issued.

Some of the passengers included ladies and children. He also alleged that some influential people had been accommodated on the same flight by the airport
authorities.

Sachde’s advocates have sent a legal notice to Bahrain Air saying that appropriate legal action should be initiated against the concerned employees and compensation be given to their client. 

“We have registered a non-cognisable offence against the staff of Bahrain Air and launched an enquiry into the incident,” said a police officer of Sahar police
station.
