BJP’s Bhopal MP Pragya Singh Thakur on Friday urged the Aviation Ministry to take action against the crew of an airline, who she claimed tried to harm her.
In a post on X, Pragya Thakur said, “Honorable Aviation Minister Shri @JM_Scindia ji (Jyotiraditya Scindia), when I came to Delhi from Mumbai to Delhi @AkasaAir by flight number QP1120, Duty Manager Imran and his associates conspired and tried to cause big harm to me. I hope you will definitely take action. Jai Shri Ram.”
Responding to the MP’s claim, Akasa Air apologised and said it would investigate the case.
“We regret the de-boarding experience that Hon’ble Member of Parliament Ms. Pragya Thakur had on our flight QP1120 on February 15, 2024. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to her. While we will investigate the incident in detail, we take this as an opportunity to learn and to continue improving on our services,” the airline said in a post on X.
In 2019, Pragya Thakur courted controversy after her altercation with the SpiceJet crew over seating arrangement, resulting in the flight being delayed for over 45 minutes.
