High drama on Bengaluru-Delhi flight as drunk passenger causes chaos, watch

What was supposed to be a routine Bengaluru-Delhi flight turned into a nightmare for passengers when a drunk man created chaos inside the aircraft moments before takeoff. The unruly passenger’s refusal to take his seat led to heated arguments, a flight delay, and a viral video that has since reignited debate over airline safety and passenger discipline.

Drama Before Takeoff

A short clip of the incident, shared by Karnataka Portfolio on X, shows passengers buckled in and ready for takeoff when the visibly intoxicated man began shouting and arguing with the cabin crew. Despite repeated instructions, he refused to sit down, forcing the crew to intervene.

“The crew handled it so calmly (huge respect), but the chaos was unreal,” the post read. “People recording, some laughing, some annoyed, and some just silently praying for takeoff.” After several tense minutes, the situation was finally brought under control, but not before the flight was delayed.

Netizens Question Security and Airline Protocols

The viral video sparked widespread outrage online. Many questioned how an inebriated passenger managed to board in the first place. One user wrote, “Liquor isn’t sold on domestic terminals. What was CISF doing letting him through security?” Others said the crew should have denied him boarding altogether.

Calls for Accountability

Several users urged airlines to impose stricter penalties. “Blacklist him from air travel for a year so he learns his lesson,” one comment read.

A Sobering Reminder

The incident highlights how one passenger’s recklessness can endanger and inconvenience everyone on board — a clear reminder that flying demands responsibility, not just a ticket.
