Air Sahara leaves passengers 'besahara'

Hyderabad: Can your air tickets get cancelled without your knowledge? Bizarre it sounds, but this is exactly what happened to a passenger of Air Sahara in the city.
Vinay Saboo of Saboo Motors was to take the Hyderabad-Bangalore Air Sahara flight on November 8. He had booked six tickets to Bangalore on November 2. On that day, when he went to the airport along with five other colleagues, he was shocked when airline staff told him that his tickets had been cancelled. He was told that two tickets each were cancelled in Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad and the refund of Rs 6,000 had been collected by 'him'.
"I had paid about Rs 13,000 in cash and bought six tickets at the airport counter of the airline. They claim that some person collected the refund. When I am still in possession of the original tickets, how can they cancel them? It is clearly a fraud on the part of the ticketing staff of the company," Vinay Saboo told TOI. He added that he was given the complaint book to lodge a complaint after he protested strongly with the airline staff. Later, he also lodged a complaint with the Saifabad police station as the Sahara office is located there.
