Drama unfolded in the skies on Friday when a passenger on an IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Kolkata slapped another traveler in the aisle. The unexpected incident, which occurred aboard flight 6E138, led to a swift response upon landing as the alleged aggressor was handed over to security personnel at Kolkata airport.
The airline has reportedly declared the passenger as unruly, but IndiGo has yet to release an official statement. The full details of the mid-air confrontation remain sketchy, with the number of passengers on the Airbus A321 still unknown.
A circulating video clip shows a passenger in his seat suddenly striking another traveler, who began to cry. Bystanders, including cabin crew, attempted to de-escalate the situation, questioning the attacker's actions and pointing out that the victim may have been experiencing a panic attack.
