New Delhi, April 1 (PTI): An Indian woman was allegedly asked to strip by security officials at Frankfurt airport, prompting foreign minister Sushma Swaraj to seek a report from the Indian consul-general.

"Raveesh - Plz send me a report on this," Sushma tweeted today.

According to a post by the passenger, Shruthi Basappa, on the Frankfurt airport's Facebook page, she, her Icelandic husband and four-year-old daughter were "on our way to our next transit flight to Berlin".

Basappa, an "Indian passport holder", says she was asked to undergo a "random check" without explanation. She was taken into a room and asked "to lift my dress/ take it off... to make sure I wasn't carrying anything under my clothes" - in front of her daughter.

She adds: "I hate to play the race card here, but I was the only person pulled aside and peeking at my husband instantly changed the woman's mind about the strip search".
