Prashmi Khanna, 22, had a terrible experience while flying back to India from Canada.
Prashmi, who was travelling via Lufthansa Airlines back to India had a layover in Frankfurt Airport where she caught up on some sleep during her brief period of wait at the airport. After a while, her travel companions woke her up and informed her about a boy in yellow t-shirt who had been filming her throughout her brief nap.
Prashmi immediately informed her father about it, who then went up to the boy and confronted him. Her father found some 30 odd photograph of his daughter which the boy had clicked. Despite this, the boy, Shikhar Tandon, from Hyderabad, refused to own upto what he did.
The entire group of people travelling with Prashmi on the same flight created a ruckus, but in vain. They had to wait for any action to be taken till they reached India, as the German air hostesses were uncooperative. The air hostesses threatened them to stop creating a scene or else they would have to be de-boarded. Instead of taking serious action against the boy, the air hostesses made him delete the unsolicited photographs of the girl and let him go.
The tragedy was that even after landing in India, Prashmi and her father could not lodge a complaint as the boy had deleted all the images of the girl from his phone and there was no evidence of the act that he had committed. On reaching Mumbai, Shikhar was only made to give a written apology and was let off.
