In the viral video, Dinara expressed her shock, questioning, “A passport control officer has written down his phone number on my ticket and told me that the next time I come to India, ‘contact me’. Arey yaar, what is this behavior huh?” She captioned the video asking her followers if the officer’s actions were appropriate.
The video elicited mixed reactions, with many internet users condemning the officer’s behavior as “unethical” and “inappropriate.” One user commented, “It’s inappropriate. The officer on duty should not behave like this for his reasons. Very unethical. Sorry, you have to go through this.” Another echoed, “This is not appropriate behavior, and proper legal action shall be taken against him. We apologize for his behavior.”
However, some defended the officer, suggesting he might have acted out of courtesy and hospitality. A user wrote, “Maybe he is trying to be courteous for any future help… every situation has a different perspective. It’s just a mindset.”
Authorities Investigate Allegation
Responding to the allegation, aviation authorities have initiated an investigation into the matter. An official statement from the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) stated, “We have taken cognizance of the video and are looking into the matter. Appropriate action will be taken based on the findings of the inquiry.”
“Such behavior from officials is unacceptable and tarnishes the image of our country’s hospitality industry,” said Rajan Datar, a travel industry expert. “While isolated incidents cannot be generalized, it is crucial for authorities to address such complaints promptly and ensure strict adherence to ethical conduct by all personnel.”
Frequent Traveler’s Fondness for India
Notably, Dinara is an avid traveler who frequently visits India and has expressed her fondness for the country on numerous occasions. Her Instagram feed is filled with posts showcasing her travel experiences across various Indian destinations, from the bustling cities to the serene hill stations.
While the investigation is ongoing, the incident has reignited discussions around professionalism, ethics, and appropriate conduct in the travel and hospitality sectors.
