Koena Mitra was on her way to Mumbai from Bangalore after attending the Fashion Week there on Sunday, when the airport security personnel asked her to remove her T-shirt. The personnel also asked her to explain why she was wearing a torn jeans, checked if her hair was real and felt her “hard†while frisking.
They refused to sign my boarding pass till I took off my hooded T-shirt and put it in the X-ray machine. When I refused to do that, they called a senior official, who said, ‘You want to fly or are you going to stay here’?â€
Interestingly, amidst all this stringent checking, security officials failed to notice a pair of scissors, a nail-filer and three bottles of perfume that Koena was carrying, clearly flouting the security norms.
