Indian badminton star PV Sindhu has joined the list of people, who have put forward complaints against the Indigo Airlines. The 2016 Rio Olympics silver medallist has taken to Twitter to accuse a certain Mr. Ajeetesh, one of the airlines' ground staff in the Mumbai airport. 

Sindhu, 22, alleged that she was travelling to Mumbai on the morning of Saturday November 4 when the incident occurred. Shocking thing is despite the air hostess Ashima asking the ground staff to behave nicely with the passenger, Ajeetesh turned back on Ashima and behaved rudely with her as well.

"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 rudely with her," wrote Sindhu.

"If this type of people work for a rupted [Sindhu meant reputed, but autocorrect made the change] airline like Indigo they will spoil their reputation," she added.

Many on Twitter slammed the airlines for behaving "badly" with "pride of nation".

A user tagged Union Minister for Civil Aviation Ashok Gajapathi Raju and wrote, "This is really shameful. @Ashok_Gajapathi pls look into it. @Pvsindhu1 is our pride of nation and no one allowed to misbehaved we women."

Indigo Airlines releases statement

Indigo Airlines brought out a statement on the incident and mentioned that it all started after the star shuttler brought an oversized luggage on board.
