Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has raised serious concerns about mid-air harassment after an incident on IndiGo flight 6E 719 to Delhi. Moitra, who was traveling for a meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence, reported that a group of 4-6 men leered at her and filmed her without consent upon landing. She took to social media to demand that the individuals be identified and placed on a no-fly list, emphasizing that this behavior is not merely a reaction to political events but constitutes harassment that jeopardizes her safety. Moitra tagged Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu and other senior leaders, framing the incident as part of a larger issue regarding women’s safety in public spaces. IndiGo has not yet commented on the identities of the passengers involved, but the airline typically conducts an internal investigation before recommending names for the no-fly list to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). This incident has reignited discussions about unruly passenger behavior in Indian aviation, a growing concern in recent times.
