The visually-impaired doctor has sought legal advice against Kingfisher chief who sent him an apology at the eleventh hour.
The visually-impaired doctor in alternative medicine, who alleged ill-treatment by Kingfisher Airlines at the Santacruz airport on August 3, had planned to take the airline to court and had sought legal advice on the comments made by Vijay Mallya, chairman, Kingfisher Airlines, published in a city tabloid on September 5.
The report quoted Mallya saying that the doctor’s story was cooked up. He also said that Mansuri was seeking special pampering from his staff, since he has an elite clientele in Bollywood.
However when Kingfisher was informed about the decision to sue, Mallya sent him a apology. The letter read: “I am sorry that you had an unpleasant experience with one of my flights. I have investigated the matter and have been assured that no disrespect whatsoever was meant or shown. However, since we have fallen short of expectations, please accept our apologies. I hope that you will afford us the opportunity to serve you again.”
Mansuri is still angry about the episode and has still to reconsider his decision to go to court. “What does he (Mallya) mean by pampering? Handicapped people do not ask for pampering. We ask for support, because god has deprived us of some things that normal human beings possess,” said Mansuri. He added that he has sought lega advice for the cause of all similarly affected people. “If I give up now, several blind brothers from poor backgrounds will never be able to voice their grievances.”
The frequent flier claims that he does not have any personal enmity with Kingfisher Airlines. “I have been travelling for several years. I’ve never complained about any other airline. Why should I complain about something fictitious”?
