Two passengers onboard a Patna-bound IndiGo flight were arrested on Monday as they created a ruckus mid-flight after consuming alcohol, airport authorities said. The incident took place on IndiGo's Delhi-Patna flight 6E-6383.
According to Robert Peter, Patna Airport SHO, no incident of assault or molestation has been mentioned in the written complaint. The complaint had been filed by the manager of the airline stating that both passengers were in a drunken state. 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.
Authorities have said that action will be taken against the accused under the Excise Act.
A similar incident came to light in the last few days when a passenger on a Delhi-Paris Air India flight urinated on a co-passenger's blanket in an inebriated state.
