Later, the woman informed the security personnel and Central industrial security force (CISF) about the incident, but no strict action was taken. The staff did not take it seriously.

On Thursday night, she was traveling from Udaipur to Indore on an IndiGo flight when an individual seated next to her engaged in inappropriate behavior.
