External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has asked for a report from the Indian Consulate General in Frankfurt, Germany, after an Indian woman alleged racial profiling after she was asked to strip at Frankfurt airport. Tagging a news report on the incident in twitter, the Minister directed Indian Consul General Raveesh Kumar to send her a report on the incident. <br/><br/>The woman, Shruthi Basappa, wrote about the incident in a Facebook post. She said she was flying from Bengaluru to Iceland along with her Icelandic husband and their four-year-old daughter earlier this week. Basappa said, she was asked to strip by Frankfurt airport security officers in front of her daughter, despite clearing a body scan. She told them that she was willing to go through a pat down search but requested they be gentle about it as she had gone through an abdominal surgery. She said she had the medical records to back her request but they refused.<br/><br/>Basappa refused to pull up her dress and demanded that her husband be called in. She says the behaviour of the officers changed after they saw her Icelandic husband. Basappa wrote, she hate to play the race card, but she was the only person pulled aside and peeking at her husband instantly changed the woman's mind about the strip search that was now a regular pat down.
