The Delhi Police has arrested an off-duty Air India Express pilot accused of assaulting a passenger at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, an officer said on Tuesday. Captain Virendra Sejwal had earlier joined the probe and was questioned by the investigating officer, the officer said. According to Dewan, he and his family, including his four-month-old baby, were directed to use the staff security check area while preparing to board a SpiceJet flight. More than a week after the incident, Sejwal was detained on Monday evening and questioned at length by police officers. Sejwal said the incident had been misrepresented on social media and unfairly portrayed as a dispute between a pilot and a passenger.
