A young woman claimed on social media that she felt humiliated after security agents conducting checks at Bengaluru airport asked her to take off her shirt.

Woman question's why was she asked to strip?

Krishnani Gadhvi tweeted, "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?"

Bangalore International Airport's reply to the tweet

"We have highlighted this to our operations team and also escalated it to the security team managed by the CISF, a government sovereign." Additionally, they requested that she send a Direct Message with her contact information.

The Twitter user deleted the tweet after it gained traction on the internet. The further details of where Gadhvi was traveling from and where she was going are unclear and have not been mentioned.
