Jaipur: The SpiceJet employee, who was recently held for slapping a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at the Jaipur Airport, alleged that the Assistant Sub-Inspector had sexually harassed her.

The staffer claimed that she had reported to work on 4.30 am on July 11 like every day. “I was doing my work when ASI Giriraj Prasad came and said, ‘Give us a chance to take care of you (Humey bhi apna seva-paani ka mauka do)’. Then, when I asked him to call a lady constable for frisking. He again said, ‘How much money will you charge for a night (Ek raat rukne ka kya logi),” the staffer said according to a Hindustan Times report.

“He said, ‘Listen to me, you’ll feel better. Your work will get done quickly.’ I told him that I would file a police complaint against you to which he said ‘You can’t do anything to me. I have seen a lot of women like you, I’ll get you fired. (Tumhare jaisi bazaaru aurat maine bohot dekhi hai, tumhey naukri se nikalwa dunga.)”the staffer said.

A video showing the employee slapping the CISF personnel had gone viral. The CISF personnel had complained to the police that the SpiceJet employee had slapped him following an argument at the time of security screening.

“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,” read a SpiceJet statement.

The woman had also alleged, according to media reports, that she had complained against the personnel before his complaint against her.
