New Delhi, Jan 6: A 'violent' passenger on a New Delhi bound flight from Dubai was restrained by cabin crew earlier this week.
He even allegedly threatened the crew, the sources added.
As things got out of hand, the chief pilot instructed the passenger to be overpowered. In an unprecedented situation he was tied down to his seat.
Upon arrival at Indira Gandhi international airport in New Delhi, CISF police force detained the man who was later handed over to Delhi Police that is investigating the matter.
According to Delhi Police sources, the passenger underwent an alcohol test to ascertain whether he has been under influence of alcohol or not. The report is awaited.
Such incidents of unruly passengers seem to have grown in recent years, both in India and around the world.
In December last year, a Jet Airways Mumbai-Bhopal flight was delayed after a group of passengers, who were part of a marriage party virtually hijacked the flight. The flight was reportedly over-booked due to a technical glitch, the website reported.
In 2016, a Compass Airlines flight headed to Los Angeles had to make an emergency landing in Tucson after a passenger made a threat to the flight crew. The man reportedly was unruly on the flight and would not sit down.
In another 2015 incident, a passenger who created a ruckus for almost six hours onboard an Emirates flight from Dubai to Melbourne had to be restrained, the airline said in a statement on Monday.
According to the statement the unruly passenger was also reportedly assaulted a passenger.
Last year in December, Korean Air said it would let its crew use stun guns more aggressively and put more male staff aboard flights to clamp down on violent passengers, after an incident involving an unruly passenger.
