The passenger, Panasenko Olena, was to take a Finnair flight to travel to Norway through Helsinki. As she created ruckus in the check-in area of the terminal building, she was not allowed to board the aircraft and was later handed over to the Delhi Police, they said.
The passenger was taken to Safdarjung hospital for medical test and since she was a Norwegian citizen, the Norwegian Embassy has been informed, a Delhi police official said.
"A woman passenger namely Panasenko Olena, who was travelling to Norway via Helsinki by AY 122 was not accepted by airline due to unusual and abnormal behaviour," a CISF official said.
A spokesperson of the Indira Gandhi International Airport here confirmed the incident and said due care was taken of the passenger. She was also administered basic medication to calm her down, the spokesperson added.

The doctor was travelling to Bhutan for a medical conference.
The Delhi Police official said the woman passenger has been admitted to the hospital as she was found "mentally disturbed" after the medical examination.
"We have not registered any case as she is mentally disturbed. We are trying to gather more information about her," he said. She came to India on November 10 on tourist visa and had visited Vrindavan and Rishikesh, he added.
