Veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was left fuming after a pilot of Jet Airways allegedly abused a physically challenged on his flight, passed racial comments towards a passenger and later physically assaulted a lady. It was really an unfortunate incident and unlike many, Bhajji didn’t keep his mouth shut and expressed his anger through the micro-blogging site twitter.

Taking to his twitter handle Harbhajan had written, “So-called this Bernd Hoesslin a pilot with @jetairways called my fellow Indian(u bloody Indian get out of my flight)while he is earning here.” One of the most successful India bowlers, Bhajji urged Jet Airways authority to take strict action against the pilot for his misdeeds. “Strict action must b taken &such things should not be allowed or tolerated in r country.#proudtobeindian let’s get together and sort this” Harbhajan wrote.

The offie continues to impress in the shortest format of the game but is unlikely to be recalled in the national team anytime sooner. He recently bagged the 200th T20 wicket while playing for the Mumbai Indians. Bhajji had gone on a trip with his friends and family to Alibaugh and even posted a video on his Instagram account.

Jet Airways replied to the incident and gave their statement. The statement read, We take a serious view of such incidents. We have a strict employee code of conduct reflecting our values and ethos which is clearly mentioned in the prescribed service conditions for all employees and is adequately emphasised during internal training sessions. In continuation of our earlier statement dated April 06, 2017, we have already noted guest feedback with concern.

The concerned pilot remains de-rostered since the day of the event, pending results of a full-fledged internal investigation that is currently underway, based on specific inputs from guests, concerned departments and law-enforcement agencies. We will take corrective action as per company policy. Additionally, we have already issued an apology to the guest regretting the incident and will update the guest with the result of the investigation.
