Indian men’s hockey team’s iconic goalkeeper PR Sreejesh on Friday took to Twitter to express his disappointment at domestic carrier IndiGo for charging him extra for his baggage. “FIH allow me to play with a 41inch hockeystick, but @IndiGo6E never allow me to carry anything over 38inch,” Sreejesh tweeted. What to do? Pay extra Rs,1500 for handling the goalkeeper baggage,” he wrote. He also shared a photo of the IndiGo receipt for the extra baggage charge. He also added the hashtag “#loot”.
