Disabled woman moves Supreme Court after being asked to walk and stand at Kolkata airport

The petitioner Arushi Singh said that she was asked thrice to stand up during the security check-in process at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International airport.

Arushi has been flying between Kolkata and Delhi every three to four months for the last one and half years on work-related trips. On the date of the incident, her flight to Delhi was scheduled for 7.30 PM.

Before entering the terminal building, she had to wait in her personal wheelchair for around 20 minutes as there was no assistant to shift her to the one provided by the airline.

She later tweeted about the treatment meted out to her.
