HYDERABAD: Aditya Mehta, who won two silver medals at the 2013 Asian Paralympics, was stripped and humiliated at two airports within days. ...Despite all the campaigning since four days, I was again asked to remove my prosthetic leg during security check at the Delhi Airport,'' he said. He was adamant that he is not going to let me go until I take off my prosthetic limb for security check. "Airports are supposed to have full body scanners so that we are not forced to remove our prosthesis,'' he told TOI. "While there is an ongoing discussion on whether a prosthetic limb should be checked with or without removing it, the BCAS is yet to take a final decision on the same.''
