Indigo investigating incident of sloganeering by Youth Congress workers on its flight

IndiGo has begun investigating the Monday incident on its Kannur-Trivandrum flight where two Youth Congress workers allegedly raised slogans against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who was on the plane, after which a senior LDF leader allegedly pushed the duo, sources said.

Vijayan heads the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in Kerala.

The airline is investigating the incident under the aviation regulator DGCA’s “unruly flyer” regulations, which allow the airline concerned to deem a passenger’s behaviour as unruly and ban the individual from flight for a specific period of time, the sources said.
