The Mumbai police have booked two IndiGo flyers for allegedly being drunk and misbehaving with the crew on a Dubai-Mumbai flight. The arrested passengers have been identified as Dattatreya Bapardekar and John George D'Souza. They were booked under section 336 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and sections 21, 22, and 25 of the aircraft rules. The two passengers reportedly started drinking after the flight took off from Dubai, which prompted the cabin crew to inform them of the ban on drinking alcohol during the flight. The conversation led to the accused standing up and walking drunk on the plane. An FIR was registered against both passengers after a complaint was received from IndiGo. Further investigations are underway.
This incident highlights the importance of adhering to flight rules and regulations. It is essential for passengers to maintain decorum and respect towards the flight crew and fellow passengers. Any violation of the rules can lead to legal consequences, as seen in this case. The actions of Bapardekar and D'Souza are not only illegal but also put the safety of the flight and its passengers at risk. The airline authorities and law enforcement agencies must take such incidents seriously and take appropriate action to ensure the safety of air travel.
Passengers must be aware of the rules and regulations set by airlines and follow them accordingly to avoid legal complications. This incident is a reminder of the importance of responsible behaviour and the consequences of breaking the law.
