Nataraj tookto Twitter to describethe whole incident, where he lashed out at the airline -- Indigo -- who charged him for extra luggage and misbehaved as well."Dear @IndiGo6E I was returning from the National Games held in Gujarat, and the staff not only behaved badly, but also charged us a hefty amount for excess baggage which was the medals and goodies that we athletes had won."
"Honestly, the amount wasn't an issue, it's the the way they treated me and my teammates. Should we leave the medals we win back at the venue?," he added.
