This came after the stand-up comedian posted a video on social media on Tuesday, which shortly went viral. In the video, it could be heard that Kamra was throwing a series of questions at an anchor of a popular broadcast news media network, inside an IndiGo airlines flight. The comedian was also heard making several comments regarding the anchor's journalistic ethics.

IndiGo airlines advised its passengers to "refrain from indulging in personal slander whilst onboard, as this can potentially compromise on the safety of fellow passengers."

Union Minister Hardeep Puri also called Kunal Kamra's behaviour "offensive" and "designed to provoke and create disturbance inside an aircraft". It is "unacceptable and endangers the safety of air travellers," he said.

"We are left with no option but to advise other airlines to impose similar restrictions on the person concerned," the Union Minister said in a tweet.
