Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra has made serious allegations of alleged misbehavior and harassment in a Delhi-bound Indigo flight. He has posted on social media regarding this incident and demanded strict action from the airline and the government.

‘I was treated in an objectionable manner’
Mahua Moitra alleged that after the flight landed in Delhi and before the doors of the plane opened, they behaved offensively with her. Not only this, his video was also made, which he termed as a serious security violation. He clearly said that this was not any kind of anger of the citizens, but a direct harassment and violation of their security.
Demand for strict action from airlines and government
Mahua Moitra has appealed to Indigo Airlines to investigate the crew report, identify the accused and immediately put them on the no-fly list so that they are not able to travel by air in future. Along with this, he has also demanded Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu to intervene in this matter and take strict action.
