Jaipur, Sep 5 (HT) : A pilot and an air hostess of Indigo Airlines got into an ugly scuffle at Jaipur airport on Sunday night that lasted for about an hour.

Eyewitnesses said that the air hostess, who was off duty and had come to the airport in a car, got into a heated argument with the pilot, who was also off duty and standing near the exit gate.

She slapped him twice and he, in turn, slapped her once, an eyewitness said. The pilot’s phone was also damaged in the scuffle. The reason for the quarrel was said to be a relationship gone sour, sources said, although the police refused to comment.

CISF personnel posted at the airport tried to intervene and calm them down but the duo ignored the security personnel and continued to bicker. The CISF later called the Sanganer police who took them to the police station and booked them under section 151 for causing nuisance at a public place.

They were produced before a magistrate on Monday morning and released on bail.
