While Jet Airways, the air carrier, replied saying that her luggage had been held due to her carrying a power bank in her check-in luggage, Das said that she hadn’t carried any such gadget.

Das tagged sports minister Rajyavardhan Rathore in one of her tweets after raising a complaint with Jet Airways.

Rathore quoted Das’ tweet and asked officials of Sports Authority of India (SAI) to help the athlete.
