An IndiGo flight delay at Bhubaneswar airport led to a chaotic scene after a woman passenger allegedly lost her temper, shouted at staff and damaged airport property on Thursday.
A video of the incident has surfaced online and gone viral. The footage shows the woman creating a commotion in the departure lounge, shouting at staff members and throwing things around.
The passenger, identified as Mamoni Kharat, was scheduled to travel to Kolkata on IndiGo flight 6E 7352. The flight was cancelled due to a technical snag, following which the incident reportedly took place around 6 pm.
Airport authorities later lodged a complaint against Kharat at the Airfield police station, accusing her of unruly behaviour and damaging airport equipment. Officials from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), IndiGo and the Airports Authority of India (AAI) were present during the incident.
According to the complaint, the passenger allegedly damaged a monitor, a keyboard and a passport-swiping machine. The AAI estimated the cost of the damaged equipment at around Rs 49,000.
