A bad situation only became worse onboard an Indigo flight when a man suffering a panic attack was slapped by his seatmate.
Upon landing in Kolkata, the man who slapped Majumder, identified as Hafijul Rahaman, was deemed an unruly passenger and handed over to local police. IndiGo released a statement calling the behavior “unacceptable” and said Rahaman may be placed on its no-fly list pending the outcome of the investigation. Majumder was taken to a hospital for evaluation and later released.
But the story didn’t end there. Majumder was supposed to take a connecting flight to Silchar (IXS) but never boarded. Family members were unable to reach him, prompting a police search across Kolkata and Assam. On August 2, he was finally located at a railway station in Barpeta in Western Assam, returning home safely by train.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
