A “drunk” lawyer created chaos onboard IndiGo flight 6E 6571, which was operating from Delhi to Kolkata on September 1. The unruly passenger started raising religious slogans — “Har Har Mahadev” and “Jai Shri Ram.”
According to a report published by NDTV, the aircraft was in the parking bay when the passenger started misbehaving with the cabin crew and disturbing other passengers.
The airline said that the passenger was under the influence of alcohol and was allegedly misbehaving with the crew members. The passenger was also allegedly carrying liquor in a soft drink bottle and passed an objectionable remark at a crew member.
“We are aware of an incident of unruly behaviour onboard IndiGo flight 6E 6571 operating from Delhi to Kolkata on 01 September 2025.
