Gaya: An IndiGo flight bound for Kolkata returned to the parking bay at Gaya airport on Sunday after a woman passenger allegedly argued with crew members over her cellphone, which she had left behind at the airport.The woman, identified as Asha Rajendra Krishnamurthy, around 40, was seated in 17C. The aircraft, which had arrived from Delhi, was brought back to the parking area after the dispute escalated. She was deboarded and handed over to the CISF, which subsequently transferred her to Magadh Medical police station after completing formalities. The flight later departed for Kolkata.In her written complaint, the woman said she lived in Bengaluru and was travelling alone. She frequently visited Gaya to offer prayers at the Vishnupad temple. She alleged she had repeatedly asked the crew to let her leave the aircraft and retrieve her phone, as she urgently needed to contact people to enquire about a three-year-old girl in Bengaluru.IndiGo also lodged a complaint alleging misbehaviour by the woman towards its crew members. She, in turn, accused the crew of harassment in a written complaint.Medical police station SHO Suday Kumar said, “Police are investigating the application of both sides. No case was registered against the woman on the basis of the complaint filed by IndiGo, as she was not found to be involved in any serious offence. The woman was released from the police station on Sunday itself.”
