Mumbai: A passenger on board a recent IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Delhi got into a brawl with the crew during take-off after he refused to remain seated, and jostled his way to the airplane lavatory, refusing to pay heed to the anxious crew.
\nHowever, no action was taken against the unruly passenger after the plane landed as he was found to be \u2018mentally unstable\u2019.
\n\u201cAfter the aircraft landed in Delhi, the crew along with CISF security personnel took the passenger to the Delhi police, but no case was filed,\u2019\u2019 said an aviation source. The passenger was let off as he was found to be mentally unstable. IndiGo did not comment on the matter.
\nThe incident occurred on December 27 soon after the flight lifted off the Mumbai runway. The passenger unbuckled his seat belt and stood up despite the crew requesting him to remain seated. \u201cBut he got into an argument with the flight attendant. Even as the crew tried to restrain him, he pushed them away and went to the lavatory,\u2019\u2019 said a source. The crew informed the pilots about his behaviour. \u201cLater, he was asked to move to the back row of the aircraft, far away from the cockpit door. Throughout the flight, the passenger was unruly (see box).At one point he turned physically abusive and was restrained by the crew and some passengers,\u2019\u2019 the source added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
