SpiceJet staffer slaps CISF personnel at Jaipur airport.

Assistant sub-inspector Giriraj Prasad stopped Anuradha Rani, a food supervisor with airline SpiceJet, around 4 am for not having valid permission to use the “vehicle gate.” She was asked to undergo security screening at a different entrance, and thus, an argument ensued, during which she went ahead and slapped the security personnel, as per the police and CISF officials.

Following the incident at Jaipur airport, the SpiceJet staffer, Anuradha Rani, was promptly arrested.

The SpiceJet staffer is detained for slapping a CISF personnel and charged under sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). She is currently under investigation. However, SpiceJet has defended its employee, claiming that she was subjected to “sexual harassment.”

SpiceJet’s support to its staff member.

A SpiceJet spokesperson said the staff member had a valid airport entry pass and was subjected to inappropriate language by the CISF personnel, including an unwelcome advance. Hence, the airline is taking legal action against the CISF personnel for “sexual harassment.” Its spokesperson said, “Today, an unfortunate incident occurred at Jaipur Airport involving a SpiceJet female security staff member and a male CISF personnel. While escorting a catering vehicle at the steel gate, our female security staff member, who had a valid airport entry pass issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), India’s civil aviation security regulator, was subjected to inappropriate and unacceptable language by the CISF personnel, including asking her to come and meet him after his duty hours at his home. SpiceJet is taking immediate legal action in this serious case of sexual harassment against its female employee and has approached the local police. We stand firmly by our employee and are committed to providing her with full support.”
