In a detailed post shared along with the video, Nazia Khan said that she was traveling in an emergency and yet she was deliberately harassed. According to her, from the check-in counter of IndiGo to the boarding area of ​​the aircraft, she repeatedly faced what she described as harassment.

Nazia Ilahi Khan also made public the names of three Indigo employees in her post. She alleged that Rehan, who was posted at counter ‘K’, Moinuddin, posted at the stretch counter, and Abdullah Khan, the alleged driver of the runway coach, harassed her at different stages of the journey. Khan claims that the behavior of these three was to deliberately cause him discomfort.
