BJP MP Praveen hits out at IndiGo over lost baggage

BJP’s Lok Sabha member Praveen Khandelwal criticised IndiGo on Friday, referring to the airline’s baggage mishandling as “shameful” during his recent flight, and highlighted the increasing concerns about passenger experience at the nation’s busiest airlines.

Khandelwal Member of Parliament from Chandni Chowk and Secretary General of the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), who flew on flight 6E‑5237 from New Delhi to Belagavi (Karnataka), said he reached his destination but his checked‑in baggage did not — and there has been no clarity on its whereabouts, causing “immense mental agony, serious



inconvenience and financial loss” as he was forced to buy essential clothing and items.

Crucially, he said the lost luggage also contained important and valuable documents, making the situation “even more distressing”.

Khandelwal’s social media post on X highlighted that such negligence and poor baggage management are completely unacceptable, particularly when experienced by a sitting Member of Parliament. “If this is the experience extended to a Member of Parliament, one can only imagine the plight of ordinary passengers,” he wrote, stressing the need for accountability and better passenger care.
