Ranjiv Ghosh has renamed Mumbai as a city of nightmares instead of dreams and blames Jet Airways for the same. In his most traumatic 48 hours ever, Ghosh first got bruises all over his face and 14 stitches on his leg after his bike skid on the slippery roads of Goa during a business trip on Monday and if that was not enough, Ghosh was further deplaned in Mumbai on Tuesday evening from a Jetlite connecting flight to Kolkata, deeming him unfit to fly due to his health conditions.
Later, the 34-year-old was allegedly left stranded at the Mumbai airport for over three hours on a wheel chair with his domestic help and finally just dropped to the Arogyanidhi hospital in Juhu in an ambulance and made to bear all expenses.
“While given a fit to fly certificate by doctors in Goa’s Vintage hospital I was explained that the stitches and pain may lead to temperature and risen blood pressure which proved true.
Therefore, I asked for a quilt for which I was asked to wait till Mumbai but instead they called a doctor there, who recorded my temperature as 100 degrees Celsius while it was 99, said I had high blood pressure and eventually they wanted me off-loaded to get a fresh fit to fly certificate while I was feeling just fine to fly,” said an agitated Ghosh who is now taking legal advice to approach the consumer court. The family has already filed an FIR in Kolkata which the police have promised to forward to the police station concerned in Mumbai.
According to Ghosh, the cabin crew falsely assured him that his ambulance and medical expense shall be arranged for just to get him deplaned. “The ground staff not just left me unattended for over two hours at the airport but also refused having any provisions of bearing cost which was finally done by a friend in Mumbai,” added Ghosh.
In response to DNA’s mail, the airlines reverted saying, “The contents of your communication are being looked into and we will revert to you by September 23, 2011.”
