An Air India flight attendant was allegedly sexually harassed in a London hotel on Thursday evening after an intruder entered her room.
Air India sources said the incident took place at the Radisson Red Hotel at London’s Heathrow Airport, adding that the crew had repeatedly raised concerns about the poor security at the hotel where they were followed.
The survivor was taken to a hospital and is now on her way back to Mumbai, airline sources said.
“We are deeply shocked by the incident of unlawful intrusion into a hotel belonging to a major international chain, which affected one of our crew members. We are offering our colleague and his entire team all possible support, including professional advice,” the airline said in a press release.
The matter will also be followed up with the local police and hotel management.
According to sources, there have been several complaints in the past about inadequate security at the London hotel, its dark corridors, unmanned reception and a villain knocking on doors.
