The Air India employee who was assaulted by Shiv Sena lawmaker Ravindra Gaikwad this morning has reportedly said in his written complaint that he was beaten, abused and almost thrown down the plane's stepladder. "God save our country if this is the culture and behavior of our MPs," Shiv Kumar, 60, has said, according to sources.
Gaikwad, a first time MP, has bragged that he beat the staffer "25 times with his slipper".
Kumar, a Customer Relations Manager, was called in when the Sena lawmaker refused to exit the plane after his flight from Pune landed in Delhi around 10.30 am.
Gaikwad, seated in 1F or the front row, was reportedly upset at travelling economy despite an open business class ticket that he is entitled to as a parliamentarian. He refused to budge even when he was told that morning flights are often all-economy.
