New Delhi June 16 (IANS) Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju has said he will get the incident relating to TDP MP J.C. Diwakar Reddy creating a ruckus at Visakhapatnam airport and being subsequently barred by seven airlines probed.
I will get the entire incident at Vizag Airport enquired into to find out the exact details and ensure that lawful outcomes follow Raju tweeted on Friday a day after Reddy was denied a boarding pass for an IndiGo flight as he had showed up late and kicked up a row at the airport.
IndiGo placed a ban on flying Reddy on late Thursday evening which was followed by four more airlines -- Air India Jet Airways SpiceJet and GoAir -- also barring him.
On Friday AirAsia and Vistara also barred the MP.
The Telugu Desam Party lawmaker from Anantapur was also said to have damaged a printer and misbehaved with IndiGo airline staff.
The staff politely informed him that boarding for flight 6E-608 is closed and offered to accommodate Reddy in the subsequent flight IndiGo has said in a statement on Thursday.
Reddy expressed his annoyance and soon raged against the staff using aggressive and abusive behaviour. IndiGo saw a footage aired by some media personnel -- which shows visual representation of Reddy s aggressive behaviour against the staff and further damaging the airport property.
