Passenger assault inside airport

Calcutta: A software engineer was allegedly assaulted by a CISF official at Calcutta airport this morning for protesting against his wife’s harassment.
Jyotirendra Ghosh, 33, and Ananya were scheduled to take a Kingfisher Airlines flight to Hyderabad. They mistakenly left the luggage trolley near the check-in counter when a jawan allegedly told Ananya: “Am I your father’s servant that you have left the trolley here?”
When Ananya protested, he abused her. “The jawan screamed at my husband when he told the man to behave,” Ananya said.
CISF official Shanti Swaroop emerged from a glass cubicle, allegedly caught hold of Jyotirendra’s collar and dragged him in. Ananya said he locked the door from inside and hit him with three others.
Ananya said she was weeping while her husband was being assaulted. “Other passengers in the lounge came to my aid and started banging on the glass door. It was flung open and Swaroop told Jyotirendra to leave,” she added from Hyderabad tonight.
