Silchar/New Delhi/Kolkata:
A youth from Assam’s Cachar district slapped by a co-passenger on a Mumbai-Kolkata IndiGo flight on Friday, while apparently experiencing a panic attack, missed his connecting flight to Silchar and remained untraceable late into the night.
The victim’s family, waiting for him at Silchar airport, are distressed as his phone was unreachable. The assaulter was handed over to security agencies in Kolkata by the airline. There was no word on whether the victim was taken into protective custody by airline or Kolkata airport authorities for medical attention or investigation purposes. The youth works at a gym in Mumbai and was returning home to Katigorah, in Assam’s Cachar district, when the incident occurred. “When we didn’t find him on the Silchar flight we contacted the local authorities and even went to Udharband police station, near Silchar airport. But we received no concrete information about his whereabouts,” said a relative. The victim’s father, who is battling cancer, was very worried. “He was working hard in Mumbai to support us and was returning home. I saw the video this morning and now I don’t know where my son is,” he said.
