Spice Jet Airlines — illegal confiscation of pepper spray in checked in baggage

Address:

110060

On 18th may flight 196 from bagdogra to delhi, my daughters pepper spray was confiscated by an over zealous baggage examiner as being 'dangerous'. This was a safe object from a mnc company and not a local product. Its kept by persons for non harmful self defence. I have travelled with this in luggage for last 10 years on flights all over india, including srinagar, and also many spicejet flights including the one on 5th may from delhi to bagdogra. Suddenly one idiotic employee decides this is prone to leakage and dangerous as if it will explode and create a toxic bomb. I and all my relatives will not travelling on another spicejet flight as this has left a bad feeling. I demand compensation as staff cant confiscate property on their whims and fancies.
