A male passenger was taken into custody for allegedly harassing an air hostess during an IndiGo flight from Delhi to Shirdi. The incident took place near the aircraft’s lavatory, where a reportedly inebriated passenger inappropriately touched a crew member. The air hostess promptly alerted the crew manager, who informed security personnel upon landing, according to news agency PTI.
The accused was taken into custody after the flight landed at Shirdi Airport on Friday afternoon and was escorted to the Rahata police station.
A molestation case was registered, and a medical examination confirmed that the passenger was under the influence of alcohol.
Rahata Police have served a notice to the accused, the official told PTI.
“We are aware of an incident on flight 6E 6404 from Delhi to Shirdi on May 2, 2025 where a customer behaved inappropriately towards cabin crew. Our crew followed standard procedures, and the customer was declared unruly. Upon landing, the customer was handed over to security agencies,” IndiGo said in a statement.
