Air India Express removes pilot from duty after assault allegation by passenger at Delhi airport

A SpiceJet passenger has accused an off-duty Air India Express pilot of physically assaulting him at Delhi airport’s Terminal 1 on Friday following an argument at the security checkpoint. The incident allegedly took place after a dispute over cutting the queue, which quickly escalated. However, no formal complaint has been filed with the police by either the passenger or the airline so far. The police said they became aware of the incident through the social media post. They added that appropriate legal action will be taken once a written complaint is submitted by the victim.
