British Airways offloads Indian family over crying 3-yr-old son
New Delhi: British Airways is not having a good time. A quick look at their Twitter mentions will explain that they are pretty much in the soup all the time-- for losing someone's baggage, for not refunding the money for canceled tickets and for being racist.
According to a news report, an Indian family was reportedly offloaded from the flight because their three-year-old wouldn't stop crying. The Indian family has alleged that one of the cabin crew members hurled racist abuse at the family and scolded the 3-year-old child for well, crying. "You bloody keep quiet otherwise you will be thrown out of the window," this is what one of the crew members had reportedly told the police.
The report said that when the child did not stop crying, the airline offloaded the family at the terminal. The incident reportedly happened on 23 July when the family was traveling from London to Berlin.
A complaint has been filed to aviation minister Suresh Prabhu, alleging “humiliation and racism". Meanwhile, a spokesperson from British Airways has said that an investigation has begun in the case.

Remarks against St Francis Xavier: Right-wing speaker Gautam Khattar gets bail
Panaji (PTI): A court in Goa on Saturday granted bail to right-wing speaker Gautam Khattar, who was arrested after he allegedly made derogatory comments against St Francis Xavier.
Judicial Magistrate First Class, Vasco, granted regular bail to Khattar, currently admitted to Goa Medical College and Hospital at Bambolim for treatment of chest pain after he was shifted from the District Hospital in Mapusa two days back.
A row erupted after a video of remarks by Khattar, the founder of Sanatan Mahasangh, at an event on April 18 in the presence of Swami Brahmeshanand, State Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho and BJP MLAs Sankulp Amonkar and Daji (Krishna) Salkar, went viral.
St Francis Xavier is revered as the patron saint of Goa.
The controversial remarks led to the Vasco Police registering an FIR against Khattar on charges of hurting religious sentiments and creating enmity between groups.
He was detained in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, by local police. His custody was later handed over to the Goa Crime Branch, according to officials.
