An IndiGo passenger traveling from Delhi to Kolkata was detained after allegedly misbehaving with the cabin crew while intoxicated. The incident occurred aboard flight 6E 6571, prompting the airline to follow strict aviation protocols by declaring the individual “unruly.”
According to an IndiGo spokesperson, the passenger, under the influence of alcohol, engaged in disruptive behavior that disturbed both the crew and fellow travelers. Upon landing in Kolkata, the individual was promptly handed over to security officials for further action. A formal complaint was filed with the relevant authorities, as confirmed by the airline.
IndiGo emphasized its commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all passengers and crew members.
