VIDEO: SpiceJet employee arrested for slapping cop; airline alleges…

Spicejet Employee Slaps Cisf Video: An employee of airline carrier, SpiceJet, was arrested on Thursday (Jul 11) after she slapped a male assistant sub-inspector during an argument over security screening. The incident took place at the Jaipur Airport and was caught on CCTV camera as the footage immediately went viral on social media. 

The company jumped into its employee’s defence by accusing the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officer of sexual harassment. 

SpiceJet released a statement, calling the incident a “serious case of sexual harassment” while alleging that the officer used “inappropriate language” against its employee.

“Today, an unfortunate incident occurred at Jaipur Airport involving a SpiceJet female security staff member and a male CISF personnel,” read the statement. 

“While escorting a catering vehicle at the steel gate, our female security staff member, who had a valid airport entry pass issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), India’s civil aviation security regulator, was subjected to inappropriate and unacceptable language by the CISF personnel, including asking her to come and meet him after his duty hours at his home,” it added.

What did CISF say?

Meanwhile, CISF officials have alleged that the SpiceJet employee, identified as Anuradha Rani, was stopped by assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Giriraj Prasad for not having valid permission to enter the airport through the gate other staff members were using to gain access around 4 am. 

Anuradha was then asked to undergo screening for airline crew at a nearby entrance but no female CISF personnel was present there at the time. CISF added that the ASI called a female colleague to assist with the security check but the argument had already escalated by then which ended with the SpiceJet employee slapping the officer. 

Later, a case was registered at the Airport Police Station following a complaint by the CISF which resulted in the arrest of the woman. 

“The woman has been arrested and her statement is being taken. The woman has also lodged a complaint. We are verifying the facts following which appropriate action will be taken,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Kavendra Singh. 

Charan Singh, Coordination In-charge, Airport Authority of India, Jaipur, said the matter is under investigation.
