Woman Slams Bengaluru Airport Security For Forcing Her To Strip
Are women safe anywhere?
On Tuesday, a woman alleged that she was forced to remove her shirt while going through the checkpoint at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda international airport. She explained that she was forced to strip for the checking procedures and felt severely humiliated during this process. While narrating this awful experience through a series of tweets, on Twitter. She questioned the intentions of the airport security at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda international airport as she asked why the Bengaluru airport needs a woman to strip.
She also added that this was thoroughly humiliating for her. In fact, she also added that she ended up getting a lot of weird and unwanted attention because she had to strip and stand at the security checkpoint while she was wearing only a thin camisole.
The woman identified as Krishani Gadhvi, a student and musician. In a now-deleted tweet, she said “I was asked to remove my shirt at Bengaluru airport during security check. It was really humiliating to stand there at the security checkpoint wearing just a camisole and getting the kind of attention you’d never want as a woman. @BLRAirport: Why would you need a woman to strip?”

Why "They have taken down her account"?
More likely she must have deleted her account considering how many random guys are jumping on to an issue where she won't like intrusion…
