Angry over the treatment meted out to him by Air India, Shiv Sena's Lok Sabha MP Ravindra Gaikwad today thrashed a 61-year-old Air India official with his slipper 25 times at the Delhi's IGI airport.
The airline has filed two FIRs against him on charges of assaulting Sukumar Raman of AISATS, Air India's ground handling firm, and for delaying the flight.
"I wanted a business class seat which he couldn't arrange for me. I hit him several times with my slipper", Gaikwad said. Air India has said there was no business class in the all-economy flight.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena has also sought an explanation from the defiant Lok Sabha MP in the assault case.
