A case has been officially registered against a passenger who, while on board an Air India flight, engaged in disruptive behaviour and used offensive language, particularly directed at the female cabin crew members.
The complaint from the victim cabin crew staff prompted the registration of the case, which occurred at Delhi’s IGI Airport Police station on October 1.
In her formal complaint, the cabin crew member stated that she was fulfilling her duties in the Economy class cabin when a passenger named Abhinav Sharma, hailing from Jalandhar, Punjab, and travelling on Air India Flight AI102, began making inappropriate remarks and verbally abusing both fellow passengers and crew members.
Over time, the individual in question escalated their disruptive behaviour, engaging in verbal abuse towards fellow passengers. Initially, the cabin supervisor issued an oral warning, which was subsequently followed by a written warning in an attempt to curb the unruly behaviour.
Nevertheless, the passenger persisted in making racist remarks and displaying disrespect towards the country (India), prompting the cabin crew to take measures to restrain him.
