Drunk foreign women create scene at Mumbai airport

A group of drunk women caused chaos at the departure gate of Terminal 2C at the Sahar airport, early on Friday. They broke champagne bottles in their drunken stupor, forcing authorities to raise the alarm.

 At about 6am on December 12, the group of five or six foreigners was waiting for a flight near the departure terminal. “They were scheduled to take a flight to Goa and were very drunk,” a central industrial security force (CISF) official said. “The women were carrying three champagne bottles in their hand.”

Following an altercation between themselves, the women began flinging the bottles at each other. “The corks of the bottle popped out, making a sound like gunshots,” the official added. CISF officials quickly intervened only to find pieces of broken glass on the floor. “The women then started shouting slogans like ‘India is the best’ and ?’We
love India’.”

Since it was not a security threat, no action was taken against the women, and they were let off by the CISF. When contacted, a spokesperson for the Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) said it must have been a minor incident, and that their staff was not aware of it. Sanjay Prakash, senior commandant of the CISF, however, did not respond to repeated calls and text messages.
