There have been many instances of passengers losing their luggage at the airport but this passenger lost his mangoes, and it disheartened him. Abhishek Bhatnagar checked in a box of mangoes while travelling from Pune to Delhi by an Air Vistara flight but he never received it upon landing. He had specially bought the mangoes for his mother. And the mangoes were special Ratnagiri Alphonso mangoes, which are popular but uncommon. They are harvested by hand and their price is relatively higher than most mango varieties. So losing the mangoes that he got for his mother provoked him to seek help.
