The airline, in an official statement, has called the video "misleading", and said a "doctor and a CISF personnel were called immediately" by the staff.
In an Instagram post, the nephew of the woman claimed that they had already informed the airline staff that they will be late by five minutes as his aunt is a "heart and diabetes patient and can't run" because of her condition.
