A South Korean woman was allegedly harassed by an airport staffer at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport on Monday under the garb of a routine check, following which, the accused was arrested.
The woman has said in her complaint to the police that she was at the airport on Monday, January 19, to board a flight to Korea. After completing immigration checks, she was proceeding towards the terminal. A male staffer, identified as Mohammed Affan, approached her and asked to see her flight ticket.
Affan allegedly told her that returning to the regular screening counter would take time, and she might miss the flight. He then took the woman to men’s toilet and touched her inappropriately under the pretext of inspection, the police said. Despite the woman objecting to how she was being inspected by the man, he allegedly continued and later let her go after saying “thank you”.
After the alleged harassment, the woman “complained to the airport security staff, who immediately detained the accused and handed him over to the airport police,” said police. The police then went through the CCTV footage from the airport and saw Affan’s deplorable act. Further investigation is underway.
