Seeking help of Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, world number 35 Manika said she was travelling in business class in the Dutch flag carrier and never expected to lose baggage with priority tag.
“Unbelievable disappointment with @KLM.! Priority-tagged baggage lost on a business class flight, including my essential sports kit for an upcoming tournament,” Manika tweeted through her official handle.

“Staff at the airport had no answers or any solutions & they had no idea where my bag is. @JM_Scindia sir pls help.”

Manika was coming back to India (August 6-7 flight) after playing in a WTT Contender tournament in Lima via Amsterdam.
In the tournament, the 28-year-old Manika reached the round of 32 before losing to Japan’s world number 14 Miu Hirano 11-3, 11-7, 10-12, 6-11, 9-11.
Manika is one of India’s brightest medal hopes in the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.
Manika and the experienced G Sathiyan are ranked seventh in mixed doubles and the pair is expected to lead India’s charge in the September 23 to October 8 Asian Games.
