The affected passenger was moved to a business-class seat for remainder of the flight. For further investigation, the unruly passenger was handed over to airport security upon landing in Delhi.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has strict norms when it comes to incidents like passengers misbehaving on flights. Airlines are required to take these issues seriously, and must establish an internal committee to investigate them.
Action against the unruly passengers in such cases could also lead them to be being put on India's no-fly list.
