IndiGo has launched a probe into the controversial incident of comedian Kunal Kamra allegedly heckling senior journalist and television anchor Arnab Goswami on his flight earlier this week, the airline said on Thursday even as the pilot in-command of the flight said the incident was not “reportable in any way”.
The pilot has conveyed to the management of the country’s largest airline, by market share, his anguish for not consulting him before ordering a six-month ban on Kamra, news agency PTI reported on Thursday. IndiGo had on Tuesday banned Kamra for six months for heckling Goswami, following which, three other carriers–Air India, SpiceJet and GoAir–banned him “until further notice”. Civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri had tweeted on Tuesday that offensive behaviour on an aircraft was unacceptable.
