Kolkata : In a shocking incident, a pregnant woman was allegedly "strip-searched" at Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, Guwahati after CISF lady staff wanted to verify her pregnancy.
The incident, which took place on June 24, has come to light now. The pregnant woman was returning to Delhi from Guwahati with her husband after attending the last rituals of her father in Guwahati.
According to the reports, the couple Shivam Sarmah and Doli Goswami, who live in Delhi, came to Guwahati on June 12 after Doli Goswami's father passed away on June 11.
After attending last rituals, the couple had travelled from Guwahati to Delhi by SpiceJet flight SG-169 on June 24.
What's more shocking is that instead of getting a medical professional to examine her pregnancy, a lady CISF staff manually examined the pregnant woman by pushing her abdomen. Doli Goswami presently 25 weeks pregnant.
According to the reports, Shivam Sarmah, husband of Doli Goswami, had requested the SpiceJet staff to arrange a wheelchair for his wife but the CISF staff did not hand them over their boarding passes and asked the pregnant woman to show proof of her pregnancy.
"The lady CISF staff asked my wife to accompany her to a room and forced her to undress. The CISF lady staff also pushed my wife's abdomen to check pregnancy," Shivam Sarmah took to twitter to express his anguish.
CISF has taken the matter seriously after the tweet and has initiated an enquiry into the matter.

New Delhi: An Indian CEO has triggered widespread debate on social media after reportedly spending Rs 14 lakh on a Louis Vuitton suitcase designed for his dog. Ajay Thakore, CEO of Doctor Multimedia, shared a video on Instagram showcasing the extravagant purchase, which has since drawn mixed reactions.
In the video, Thakore is seen entering a Louis Vuitton store, stating, "I think my dog has something to pick up." He then reveals the "Bone Trunk," a bone-shaped, hard-shell suitcase complete with a varnished wooden tray and two bowls. The video’s caption read, "Aspen's always spending money like there's no tomorrow. $20k Louis Vuitton bone trunk."
The post quickly went viral, with many users expressing shock and disbelief. Some criticized the CEO’s indulgence, questioning the morality of spending such a large sum on a pet accessory when pressing issues like poverty and animal welfare exist. Comments ranged from disbelief to sharp criticism, with one user remarking, "Imagine how far $20k would go at an animal rescue." Others viewed it as a reflection of societal excess, calling it a "grotesque illustration of what's wrong in society."
However, Thakore also found support from some users, who defended his right to spend his wealth as he pleased. One commenter noted the irony of criticism coming from people who indulge in expensive gadgets, writing, "It's funny how many condemn this spending yet think nothing of buying an $800 iPhone without considering charity."
