Sharma called it "completely unacceptable".
"Road rage is coming to aircrafts. I am sure, we all understand crew is guided by ATC and doesn’t delay a flight on their own. This is completely unacceptable! We must respect and honour who standby and give us services in any hour and weather," Sharma wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The post divided the internet. "What does the pilot or cabin crew have to do with the delay? They were just doing their job. Be whatever reason, the guy's action isn't justified!" a user wrote in reply .
"Airlines staff don’t deserve this. They are simply the unfortunate final link in a lengthy chain of operations. Not cool." another user wrote.
IndiGo has released a statement about the incident and said they were considering putting Kataria on the "no-fly list". Sharma has praised Indigo for their decision.
