The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has suspended the woman personnel who allegedly strip searched an 80-year-old wheel-chair bound lady passenger at Guwahati airport on Thursday.
The incident happened during security checks at Guwahati’s Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport.
The wheel-chair-bound Kikon, who underwent a hip replacement surgery last year, was on her way to Delhi with her grandchild by a GoAir flight.
The woman CISF official allegedly made her take off all her clothes on the pretext of searching her, even after Kikon repeatedly said that she had had the hip implant.
Kikon’s daughter Dolly Kikon, a renowned anthropologist from Nagaland said that her disabled mother was made to strip by the CISF staff at the airport in Guwahati.
She also alleged that the CISF security personnel harassed her niece for lodging a complaint with the authorities against the incident.
