Two women from Manipur who were taking a flight from Delhi to Amsterdam on Sunday, have alleged racism and harassment on the part of four Jet Airways staff who stopped them just before immigration at Delhi Airport.
Huishuwo Horngamla, 24, and Ramrek Premmi, 22, were headed to the Caribbean island of Saint Kitts, for which they were supposed to take a transit flight - Jet KLM 3817 Delhi- Amsterdam - at 3 AM on Sunday.
"We reached Delhi as per the schedule. Just as we were headed for immigration Jet staff stopped us asking for documents," said Premmi.
She explained that she and Horngamla showed the staff "all the documents like passport, visa and work permit."
"Then too they said that we can't go. We asked why can't we go. The staffer replied that you will know the answer when you miss the flight," Premmi said.
The women allegedly missed their flight because of the staff, one of whom has been identified as Sanjiv.
They were made to sit at a Jet Airways counter for 10 hours by the duty manager Sapna. Then, their employer - S R Shahani - contacted authorities in Saint Kitts, who in turn contacted immigration authorities. The women were then booked into a flight back to Mumbai, and on a Mumbai- Amsterdam- Saint Martin flight on February 10.
