New Delhi: Union Civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has ordered a probe into the incident of a person who, in violation of rules, smoked a cigarette inside an aircraft. "Investigating it. There will be no tolerance towards such hazardous behaviour," Scindia tweeted on Thursday in response to a post that shared the video. Sources say the passenger is a social media influencer.
Meanwhile, sources claimed that the video is of a Spicejet flight from Dubai to New Delhi in January this year and appropriate action has been taken by the aviation security. Earlier, a video of a person smoking inside the aircraft was shared by a Uttarakhand MLA Umesh Kumar. Carrying matches or lighters on board aircraft is prohibited. Passengers have to undergo pre-boarding security checks before boarding the flights.
