Actor Siddharth on Tuesday alleged that his parents were "harassed" by airport security personnel at Tamil Nadu's Madurai.
Actor Siddharth Suryanarayan, known for his role in the Bollywood movie Rang De Basanti recently took to Instagram claiming his parents were harassed by airport security personnel at the Madurai Airport in Tamil Nadu. Actor Siddharth on Tuesday alleged that his parents were "harassed" by airport security personnel at Tamil Nadu's Madurai. The actor, in a post on Instagram Story - a feature that disappears after 24 hours - alleged the airport security personnel made his parents remove coins from their bags, repeatedly spoke to them in Hindi, and refused to talk in English despite being requested to do so. Siddharth alleged that when they protested, the security personnel said, "In India, this is how it is."
"Harassed for 20 mins @ Madurai airport by CRPF. They made my senior parents remove coins from their bags! And repeatedly talked to us in Hindi after being told to speak in English," Siddharth shared on his Instagram Stories. The security at Madurai airport is handled by the Central Industrial Security Force, or CISF. The actor, however, on the Instagram Story post made the allegations against the CRPF, or the Central Reserve Police Force. Interestingly, the airport security in airports, including Madurai airport is managed by CISF (Central Industrial Security Force), which is managed by the central government and not CRPF, as claimed by the actor.
Also, removing coins is a security procedure undertaken by the CISF personnel to remove all metal items that one can carry while passing through the Metal Detector machines. Siddharth has acted in many Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi films in a career spanning nearly 20 years. In the story that seems to have been deleted from his account soon after being posted.
