A video has gone viral on social media showing a man allegedly stealing a life jacket from an IndiGo flight, raising serious concerns about passenger safety. In the video, another passenger catches the man off guard and asks him to open his bag. When the bag is opened, a safety vest is found inside.
The clip clearly shows the man being confronted by the passenger, who says, “This is not right, I am watching you since a long time, life jackets are for our safety, and you are putting it in your bag.”
The video was posted on Instagram and has already crossed 2.4 million views. It has sparked a strong reaction online, with many people expressing anger over the shocking act.
Take a look at the video here:
Meanwhile, News18 has not been able to confirm the authenticity of the claims made in the video.
Social media users have shared mixed opinions. Some have demanded strict action against the man, including a ban from flying.
A user commented, “Why would you steal a life jacket? Air travel has become so cheap, people with zero civic sense are now flying.”
Another wrote, “Pls ban him from flying. This is risking passengers’ life in an emergency situation.” Someone else joked, “Wearing LACOSTE but couldn’t resist the life jacket.”
However, a few people tried to understand the man’s perspective.
A user said, “He might have thought it’s free stuff that comes with the flight charges. It’s okay to help him understand without embarrassing him and calling it a robbery. Or simply report it to flight attendants or staff.” To this, another replied, “Nonsense. When you start defending daylight robbery.”
As of now, IndiGo has not made any official comment on the matter. There has also been no confirmation from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The identity of the man and details of the flight are yet to be verified.
