Earlier, last week a video of a heated argument between a passenger and an air hostess in Indigo's Delhi-bound international flight went viral on social media.

In the viral video, the crew member could be seen telling a passenger who is not visible not to shout. "You pointed a finger at me and you are yelling at me. My crew is crying because of you, please try to understand that there is a cart, there are counters uplifted. We can always serve what you want," she could be heard saying in the video.

The man is heard shouting, "Why are you yelling" and the crew member also gives a stern reply while saying, "Because you are yelling at us".

IndiGo, after the video went viral on social media on Wednesday issued a statement. "We are aware of the incident that took place on flight 6E 12 from Istanbul to Delhi on December 16, 2022," it said.
