According to a message circulating on social media, Sarma clicked some pictures when her luggage was being screened again and again.
After checking her bag, one of the staffs allegedly said she had to delete the pictures.
Despite the passenger saying that the pictures have been deleted, the staff forcibly snatched her phone and proceeded to delete the same from ‘recently deleted’ folder in the phone, as per the message purportedly attributed to Sarma.
