An inebriated man was offloaded from a Mumbai-Bengaluru IndiGo flight after he harassed a crew member on Tuesday, Times of India reported.

The 20-year-old woman said Raju Gangappa touched her back and made inappropriate comments while boarding the Bengaluru-bound flight. She said: “The flyer pressed my back and when I retaliated, he abused me verbally. I informed the incident to my senior before the flyer was offloaded with his baggage.” The incident delayed the flight by about half an hour.

A publishing professional, Gangappa was on his way back home from Mumbai when he was removed from the plane. Andheri court remanded him in police custody till Thursday. His flight history is being probed too.
