India: 2 drunk passengers arrested; IndiGo refutes any brawl in flight
The airline informed Air traffic controllers that two passengers were carrying liquor
Days after the 'drunk man urinating' incident on an Air India flight, another airline crew had to report two drunk passengers to the airport authority.
However, IndiGo airlines on Monday refuted any passenger causing havoc on a Patna-bound flight from the national capital and said that no such altercation took place.
"With reference to the incident that took place onboard 6E 6383 from Delhi to Patna, the matter is under investigation with the authorities. We would like to clarify that there was no altercation onboard the aircraft, as what is being reported in some sections of social media," IndiGo airlines said in a tweet.
The airlines issued clarification hours after it was reported that the airport police have arrested two passengers for allegedly creating havoc in an inebriated state on Sunday night.
Patna Airport SHO Robert Peter said that the police took action after the manager of IndiGo filed a written complaint against the accused. He further said that the accused would be produced before the court.
According to the sources, before landing, Indigo informed Air traffic controllers (ATC) that two passengers were carrying liquor. The passengers were stopped by the crew members for consuming alcohol and they apologised in writing for the incident, the sources told ANI.
In another similar incident, a drunk passenger allegedly urinated on the blanket of a female passenger on the airline's Paris-New Delhi flight last month.
On January 7, police said they had arrested one person, identified as Shankar Mishra from Bengaluru, for urinating on a senior citizen woman co-passenger in business class on the Air India flight from New York to Delhi on November 26.
The arrest was made based on the complaint of the woman.
There was a similar incident where Air India said that there was an incident of a drunk passenger allegedly urinating on the blanket of a female passenger on the airline's Paris-New Delhi flight last month.
Airline regulator DGCA has sought a report from Air India on an incident.
