Telugu Desam Party Member of Parliament J C Diwakar Reddy reportedly created ruckus at the Vishakapatnam airport after failing to reach on time. As the incident unfolds, JC was scheduled to fly with IndiGo 6E 608 but reported only 28 minutes prior to the scheduled departure. The boarding for flight closes 45 minutes before the take off. The staff courteously informed the TDP leader and also offered to accommodate him in the subsequent flight. JC threw a fit and displayed aggressive behaviour. He allegedly got extremely abusive and twitchy. Apparently, the MP entered the ticketing corner of IndiGo supposedly damaged some furniture and a printer.
However, he got away like any other VVIP as the airline had to oblige to the MPs demands. Civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju was in the same airport lounge but purportedly denied to interfere in the issue.
Usually, the personal staff of VVIPs collect their boarding pass and inform the airlines about their travel. However, no such information was provided to the IndiGo staff on Thursday.
Indigo in its statement said that “As an airline, we will take all necessary action to address this violation”
This is not the first time for JC, as he created a ruckus at Gannavaram Airport after missing his flight last year in October where he charged into Air India office and damaged furniture.
