Aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Thursday ordered an investigation after a video purportedly showing a bodybuilder smoking on a SpiceJet flight surfaced on social media.
The video shows Bobby Kataria, who has 6.3 lakh followers on Instagram, purportedly lighting a cigarette on one of the back rows of a SpiceJet plane. Passengers are not allowed to carry a lighter or smoke in a plane.
SpiceJet said the smoking incident took place on its Dubai-Delhi flight on January 20 when passengers were boarding the plane and the cabin crew were busy with the procedure.
