Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu on Saturday accused an Indigo ground staff of misbehaving with her while travelling from Hyderabad to Mumbai, even as the airline rejected the celebrated shuttler's allegations. World No. 2 Sindhu claimed that the staff behaved rudely with her and an airhostess intervened to advise him against doing so.

"Ground staff (skipper) Mr Ajeetesh behaved very badly and rudely with me. When the air hostess Ms Ashima tried to advise him to behave properly with the passenger (me), but to my surprise he behaved very rudely with her. If these type of people work for a reputed airline like Indigo they will spoil their reputation," Sindhu wrote on her Twitter handle.
The airline issued a prompt response and backed its employee for "keeping calm", saying that the staff was only doing his job. "Ms PV Sindhu boarded flight 6E608 Hyderabad – Mumbai last carrying oversized baggage which was not fitting into the overhead bin. Ms Sindhu was informed that it will be moved to cargo hold of the aircraft. This is the same policy we follow for all customers," the airline said.
