Drunk passenger holds up Mumbai flight at IGIA; deboarded

An alleged drunk flier created ruckus and was offloaded from a Mumbai-bound flight after he misbehaved with the crew and other airline staff at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here today.
Officials said the incident was reported around midnight from the domestic terminal of the airport after the airline staff informed CISF security personnel about a drunk passenger onboard their aircraft, ready to take off for Mumbai.
They said a team of CISF officials immediately rushed and forcibly took out the flier, identified as A Agarwal, amid protests from a group of 15-20 passengers travelling with him.
The passenger, they said, kept on "abusing" the CISF and airline staff and had to be forcefully evicted from the plane.

"In the ensuing commotion, the said flier again sneaked in the aircraft and was removed by CISF personnel again. He was later handed over to Delhi Police after the airline reported the matter to them also," they said.
The flight finally departed at 1: 00 AM, they said, adding the passenger has been booked for unruly behaviour and creating nuisance by the police, they said.
