Air India’s women trainee crew robbed at Gurgaon guest house; intruders scale balcony

The women handed over their belongings without resistance, and the intruders fled without entering the rooms fully, as per the FIR. Stolen items included cash, jewellery, luxury watches and mobile phones. No weapons were visible during the incident, police said.

The guest house management filed a complaint Friday evening, leading to an FIR at the Sushant Lok police station under sections for theft and criminal intimidation of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

A Gurgaon police spokesperson said CCTV footage in and around the premises is being examined, and the culprits will be nabbed soon.

Air India, in a statement on the matter, said, “We are deeply concerned by this unfortunate incident of intrusion and theft at a Gurugram hotel where some of our crew colleagues were staying during a training programme. Crew safety is a top priority at Air India and as an immediate precaution, the affected colleagues have been relocated to another hotel, whilst our teams remain available to them to provide any required support. Air India is cooperating closely with local law enforcement authorities and will ensure the matter is pursued with due legal recourse.”

In September, a robbery was reported at boxing champion Mary Kom’s house in Faridabad, in which the police soon nabbed three minors.

The police recovered some of the stolen items, which included several pairs of expensive footwear, a bottle of perfume, and a couple of smartphones.

The incident took place when the Olympian was in Meghalaya, attending an international half-marathon event in Sohra.
