Shruti Alleges ‘Striped & Checked’ by male officer at US airport

Indian entrepreneur Shruti Chaturvedi blamed the police and FBI at a US airport for missing her flight. She alleged that she was harassed for eight hours at the airport. Sharing her ordeal in an X post, Chaturvedi alleged that a male officer physically checked her under camera surveillance.

The frisking was done after the security personnel found a power bank in her handbag at the Anchorage airport in Alaska, deemed to be “suspicious”. She said that she was not even allowed to use the restroom during the eight hours.

She was not only detained for eight hours but also questioned about ridiculous things. She was even stripped off warm wear, mobile phone, wallet, kept in a chilled room, not allowed to use a restroom, or make a single phone call, just for a powerbank. Chaturvedi runs the Chaipani public relations firm.

“I don’t have to imagine, already past the worst 8 hours. And we all know why,” she added, tagging India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and the Ministry of External Affairs in her post.

In her earlier posts, Chaturvedi shared several pictures of her Alaska trip.
