A social media post alleging that a diabetic passenger was denied washroom access on an IndiGo flight has sparked debate over aviation safety vis-a-vis medical urgency. Shubham Kushwaha, a student activist and public policy researcher, claimed on X that a passenger on IndiGo flight 6E6313 from Raipur to Delhi was refused access to the washroom at 6:15 pm, around 20 minutes before landing, despite citing a medical need. The post further alleged that the passenger was denied access even after landing, before deplaning. Responding to the claim, IndiGo said, “As per standard safety protocols, once the seat belt signs are on, including during critical phases of flight such as taxi, take-off, descent, and landing, passengers are required to remain seated with their seat belts fastened.” DISCLAIMER:  This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.
