Jyotiraditya Scindia’s “Unacceptable” Post After IndiGo Passenger Hits Pilot

Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has said “unruly behaviour” on board planes will not be tolerated and every such incident will be dealt with as strongly as existing legal provisions allow.

In a detailed post on X, Mr Scindia also explained that the disorder at the Delhi airport Sunday was due to “unprecedented fog” that limited visibility for four hours starting 5 am, and “compelled” authorities to shut down flight ops “keeping passenger safety… the foremost priority… in mind”.

The minister’s brief comment comes amid outrage over absolute chaos at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on Sunday, where heavy fog forced delays and cancellations to over 150 domestic and international flights. The flashpoint was on board an IndiGo service to Goa, where a male passenger – Sahil Kataria – ran at the captain and assaulted him for announcing a fresh delay.

Yesterday, Delhi witnessed unprecedented fog wherein visibility fluctuated for several hours, and at times, dropped to zero between 5 AM to 9 AM.

“It is my earnest request to all travellers to bear with during this difficult period.”

Mr Scindia also said the DGCA – the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the country’s aviation watchdog – will issue protocols for airlines, to ensure “better communication (with) passengers to minimise discomfort in view of flight cancellations and delays due to adverse weather”.

2 Indian Students Found Dead In US, Families “Clueless” Over Cause Of Death

Two students- one from Wanaparthy in Telangana and another from Srikakulam in Andhra Pradesh- were found dead in their Connecticut accommodation in the US recently, a family member said on Monday.

The students were identified as G Dinesh (22) from Wanaparthy in Telangana and Nikesh (21) from Srikakulam in Andhra Pradesh.

Family members of the Telangana student are clueless about the cause of his death and also of his roommate’s.

“Dinesh’s friends who live in a nearby room called us on Saturday night and informed us about his death and his roommate’s. We have no clue as to how he died,” Dinesh’s family members said.

According to a family member, Dinesh went to Hartford, Connecticut in the US for higher studies on December 28, 2023 while Nikesh reached a few days later.

Incidentally, they were mutual friends of some common friends and became roommates after going to the US.

A member of Dinesh’s family noted that they have sought the help of Union Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy and Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to bring back Dinesh’s body.

Wanaparthy MLA Megha Reddy has also chipped in to help bring back Dinesh’s body. He called on the family members of the student and comforted them.

Further, a member of Dinesh’s family said they had no contact with Nikesh’s family members as the two went to the US only recently.

Similarly, even the Srikakulam district administration does not have any information on Nikesh yet.

Srikakulam Police Special Branch DSP K Balaraju noted that even the district collectorate did not receive information on Nikesh or his family members.

Expressing grief over the death of the student, Wanaparthy MLA T Megha Reddy met the student’s family members in Wanaparthy town and conveyed his condolences.

The MLA spoke to Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy with regard to bringing the student’s dead body to India from the United States.

The Chief Minister responded positively and stated that arrangements would be made to bring back the body to his native place.

The student from Wanarpathy had gone to US on December 28 (last year) for higher studies, the MLA was informed.
