Sreesanth in aircraft controversy

S Sreesanth found himself in another controversy on Wednesday when a co-passenger in a Bangalore-Delhi flight alleged that the pacer had behaved brashly on the aircraft.

It is learnt that the mercurial pacer, who recently underwent a couple of surgeries (toes) in Europe, was allotted an emergency exit seat by a check-in counter executive at the Bangalore airport.

However, the in-flight attendant requested him to vacate the seat, saying he was injured. Sreesanth then informed the attendant that he’d not availed of any special facility like wheelchair service and hence couldn’t be denied the seat. A co-passenger was quoted as saying the cricketer misbehaved with the attendant and used abusive language. Sreesanth refuted the allegations and claimed he did nothing wrong.
