Delhi Airport: Man Walks Onto Conveyor Belt After Being Denied Boarding Over RT-PCR Test Report

A 36-year-old passenger from Uttar Pradesh was arrested for creating ruckus at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi on June 21. The man was allegedly denied boarding by the airline for not carrying a mandatory RT-PCR test report, reported PTI. Suraj Pandey, a businessman from Rudrapur in Uttar Pradesh, was arrested based on a complaint received from Deepak Chadha, Deputy Manager of Vistara Airlines, reported PTI. In his complaint, Deepak Chadha alleged that the passenger came to IGI Airport's Vistara airline counter for heading to Mumbai by flight number UK933 but he did not have an RT-PCR report, reported PTI. The airline official further alleged that around 3 pm, Suraj Pandey turned violent and started shouting. He also got onto the baggage belt and started walking on it and obstructed the airline staff and other passengers, reported PTI. The man walked on the baggage belt even as he argued with the airport officials and demanded to be adjusted on another flight. Despite repeated requests, he did not pay any heed to the officials. In a video, which went viral, the man was seen being dragged by CISF personnel from the spot. He was later handed over to Delhi Police for further investigation.
