The Bad Behaviour Of The Airline Staff Is What Irked The Olympian The Most

Taking to Twitter, India’s swimmer Srihari Nataraj slammed IndiGo Airlines and its staff for their rude behaviour towards him and the team of players. Natraj wanted to know if the athletes should leave their medals at the venue itself? The Olympian was mostly disappointed by the rude behaviour of the staff than the excess baggage amount.
He writes, “Dear @IndiGo6E I was returning from the National Games held in Gujarat, and the staff not only behaved badly, but also charged us a hefty amount for excess baggage which was the medals and goodies that we athletes had won.
Honestly, the amount wasn’t an issue, it’s the way they treated me and my teammates. Should we leave the medals we win back at the venue?” Take a look:
