Airlines ban on Kunal Kamra referred to internal committee: DGCA

The ban on comedian Kunal Kamra by Indian airlines has been referred to an internal committee in accordance with the Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR), the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said on Wednesday.

Multiple airlines, including IndiGo, AirIndia, SpiceJet and GoAir, have banned Kamra from flying with their airlines following Kamra’s alleged heckling of journalist Arnab Goswami on IndiGo flight 6E 5317 from Mumbai to Lucknow.

Kamra had posted a video of him confronting Arnab Goswami on his coverage of Rohit Vemula and his “brand of journalism.”
