The Air India Express pilot, who allegedly assaulted a passenger at Delhi airport after a dispute over jumping a queue, has spoken out. A law firm has put out a statement on behalf of Captain Virender Sejwal.

Event organizer Satadru Dutta was arrested following chaos during the Messi tour in Kolkata. Police seized Rs 22 crore from his accounts, suspecting black money use. Dutta claimed Rs 100 crore was spent, but investigators doubt his financial figures. He also blamed others for the event’s disorder, citing pressures for increased access.

A law firm representing the pilot said the incident, which occurred at Terminal 1 of the IGI Airport, has been “mischaracterised” as a confrontation between a pilot and a passenger
