A video of IndiGo airline staff manhandling a 53-year-old passenger at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport is going viral on social media. In the video, the staff are seen pushing Rajeev Katiyal, the passenger, to the ground and beating him up. Allegedly, the incident happened when Katiyal was travelling from Chennai to New Delhi on IndiGo’s 6E-487 flight on October 15. The passenger reportedly said he was standing under the shade of the plane as it was a hot day when the staff asked him to move rudely. Following an argument, the staff assaulted him instead of taking him to the concerned authorities, say reports.
