A Jet Airways pilot allegedly racially and physically abused a physically challenged man on the flight. And not just that, the pilot even went ahead and gave the same treatment to the lady accompanying the man. Bhajji was absolutely shocked by the behavior of the pilot towards the passengers especially physically challenged people.

Harbhajan Singh then took to Twitter on Wednesday, expressed his outrage by blaming the Jet Airways pilot, Bernd Hoesslin of racial behavior towards a lady and a physically challenged man.

Bhajji further tweeted demanding a strict action against the pilot.

He even tweeted to PM Modi, appealing him to take action.

Harbhajan Singh was reacting to the incident involving Punjabi and Bollywood music director Jatinder Shah and Bollywood marketing professional Pooja Singh Gujral during the flight from Chandigarh to Mumbai on April 3. Shah uses a wheelchair that was checked in but the chair never reached him on arrival.

The flight was also delayed due to some internal issues of the airlines, wrote Gujral, narrating the incident via a Facebook post. Shah was made to wait in the airplane and Pooja decided to remain with him. The pilot of the flight, Bernd Hoesslin, then stormed out of the cockpit and started hurling abuses at Shah and Pooja.

Physically and racially assaulting a man is bad enough. Doing it to a physically challenged man is utterly shameful. Harbhajan, an active Twitter user, he called for support on the social media site saying that such incidents should not be allowed.
