A video purportedly showing a man stealing a life jacket while travelling on an IndiGo flight has left the internet in disbelief. The video, which is now being shared across varied social media platforms, shows a man offscreen accusing a passenger of taking a safety jacket from the plane.
“A Passenger got Caught Allegedly Stealing life jacked on Flight,” an X page posted along with the video. The clip starts with a man asking another person to open his bag. The man then opens the bag himself and finds a life jacket inside it. Life vests are kept for each passenger on the flights and are considered mandatory safety equipment.
