Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad assaulted an Air India official after his flight landed at the Delhi airport on Thursday reportedly over seating arrangement in the plane, The Indian Express reported.
"The MP removed his footwear and kept on hitting the AI duty manager. He must have assaulted the AI official about 15-17 times," said an airline source. An Air India spokesperson confirmed the incident. "We have constituted a committee to look into the action we can take against the MP," the spokesperson added. Speaking to news channels, a defiant Gaikwad said that he hit the AI official 25 times with his chappals.
“Haan maine usko maara tha, usne badtameezi ki thi (Yes, I hit him. He misbehaved with me),” Gaikwad was quoted saying by news agency ANI. It is unclear what exactly led to the scuffle though TV reports say the MP was downgraded from the business class to the economy class.
"He had booked an open ticket on the Pune-Delhi flight AI-852. But the aircraft which was pulled in to operate the flight had an all-economy configuration. Gaikwad's staff in Delhi were informed about this on Wednesday. They decided to go ahead and said that the politician would board the flight,'' said an AI official.
