Mahua Moitra (Member of Parliament from Krishnanagar, India) reported an incident of harassment on IndiGo flight 6E 719 while traveling from Kolkata to Delhi. She alleged that a group of four to six men shouted slogans like “Chor chor, TMC chor” and “Jai Shri Ram” after the flight landed, targeting the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) party. Moitra described the behavior as harassment that violated her safety on the aircraft. She called on IndiGo to review the crew report, identify the passengers involved, and place them on a no-fly list. The incident occurs amidst heightened political tensions in West Bengal, where the Bharatiya Janata Party recently ended the TMC's 15-year rule in the Assembly elections, winning 207 of 294 seats. Moitra's call for action has yet to receive a response from IndiGo or the Union Civil Aviation Ministry.
