Entrepreneur Shruti Chaturvedi has claimed that she was detained for eight hours at the US airport by the police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which missed her flight.

“It is being imagined that the police and FBI are being detained for 8 hours, the most ridiculous things are being questioned, physically investigated by a male officer on camera, hot wear, mobile phone, wallet snatched, kept in cold room, not allowed to use a toilet, or not allowed to make a single phone call, to miss your flight.
He said, “I don’t have to imagine, already the worst 7 hours. And we all know why,” he said, tagging India’s Foreign Minister S Jaishankar and Ministry of External Affairs to his post.
Ms. Chaturvedi first posted about her Alaska Yatra on social media and shared several pictures in the last few days.
Sharing photos of northern lights on March 30, he wrote on 30 March, “Flight to Alaska, flew through Dalton highway, crossed the Arctic Circle, and saw the northern light from the balcony of the room at night, the night I was not ready to see one.”
