On Tuesday, Union Minister Jayant Sinha sought a report from budget carrier IndiGo regarding the incident at Delhi airport last month, when a passenger was manhandled by the airline’s staff.
The incident happened on October 15 surfaced only on Tuesday after a video showed passenger Rajiv Katyal being manhandled by the airline’s staff after a verbal altercation. Katyal, who arrived from Chennai, was waiting for the passenger bus at the airport when the incident happened. It is not clear exactly who started the verbal altercation.
However, the airline, in its report, owned up to the fault and clarified that its employee Montu Kalra (since sacked by IndiGo) who shot the video was indeed the one who instigated the incident.
