A new twist to the IndiGo passenger manhandling case emerged on Wednesday as the airline said the apparent whistleblower, who shot the video, was the main culprit in the incident. The airline made the revelation in its report which was submitted to the ministry of civil aviation on Wednesday. On Tuesday, Union Minister Jayant Sinha sought a report from budget carrier IndiGo regarding the incident at Delhi airport last month, when a passenger was manhandled by the airline’s staff. The incident which took place on October 15 surfaced only on Tuesday after a video showed passenger Rajiv Katyal being manhandled by the airline’s staff after a verbal altercation. The airline, in its report, owned up and clarified that its employee Montu Kalra — since sacked by IndiGo — who shot the video and turned a whistleblower in the manhandling case was the one who instigated the incident.
