Denied boarding pass, TDP MP Diwakar Reddy creates ruckus at Visakhapatnam airport

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MP JC Diwakar Reddy on Thursday created a ruckus at the Visakhapatnam airport when the authorities did not issue a boarding pass to him.

Reddy arrived late at the airport and demanded a boarding pass after the staff closed the counter as the deadline had ended. He was later provided a boarding pass. He was flying from Vizag to Delhi from flight no 6E 608.

"We are investigating the matter and have no comments to offer till such time that we have completed a thorough investigation. Safety and security of our colleagues and customers is our highest priority," Indigo said in a statement.

Reportedly, some property in the Indigo office was broken and the staff was also manhandled. Vishakapatnam airport director refused the reports and said it was just an argument which was sorted out soon.

Reddy had earlier in October last year created ruckus at Vijaywada Airport when he had arrived late to catch an Air India flight. He had argued and resorted to vandalism.
