An 82-year-old woman suffered serious injuries at Delhi airport after allegedly being denied a pre-booked wheelchair by Air India. "She waited for an hour, then had to walk. Her legs gave way, and she fell," her granddaughter Parul Kanwar said. The woman, widow of a Lieutenant General, suffered head injuries and is in the ICU. Air India claimed the family arrived late and a wheelchair was unavailable due to high demand. "We fully empathise and pray for her recovery," the airline stated. The family alleges she was not given proper first aid after the fall.
