"There was no such incident," he told PTI when asked about his son Jaimin Patel allegedly being not allowed to board a Qatar airways flight on Monday as he was drunk.
"The message doing rounds on social media (which was picked by local news website) is totally false. He had gone to the airport with his wife and children. However, he had some health problem after which his wife called our home and it was decided that they should come back from the airport," Patel said.
Local airport manager of Qatar Airways Amit Dhiman could not be contacted for comments.
Local police denied having received any such complaint from the airlines.
Airport Director Manoj Gangal said it was an issue between the passenger and the airlines and he does not know anything about it.
