Man Slaps Co-Passenger Onboard IndiGo Flight:
In August this year, IndiGo Airlines announced the suspension of a passenger from flying on any of its flights after a viral video showed him slapping a co-passenger during a flight from Mumbai to Silchar via Kolkata.
The incident occurred on IndiGo flight 6E-2387 on August 1 when 32-year-old Hussain Ahmed Majumdar from Assam reportedly suffered a panic attack mid-air. He was being escorted off the aircraft by cabin crew after landing when a co-passenger suddenly got up and slapped him.
