Bobby Kataria viral video: The authorities have filed a case against Bobby Kataria.
Bobby Kataria viral video: A video is going viral in which a man can be seen lying down on the seats of a SpiceJet flight and smoking. The viral video was made months ago but has now caught the attention of Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. Smoking is banned inside flights in India. Apart from causing inconvenience to other passengers, lighting a fire is a safety hazard and can lead to catastrophic accidents. The man in the video has been identified as Bobby Kataria or Balvinder Kataria, a social media influencer.
The video again went viral on Wednesday with scores of Twitter users tagging the minister and demanding action against Bobby Kataria. "Investigating it. There will be no tolerance towards such hazardous behaviour," Scindia tweeted.
The authorities are probing the matter.
"Balvinder Kataria traveled from Dubai to New Delhi on a SpiceJet flight. He landed in Delhi on 23.01.22. Video isn't available on his Facebook/Instagram page. The action was taken by aviation security earlier," the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security told news agency ANI.
Carrying matches or lighters on board is prohibited. It isn't clear how Kataria lit a fire inside the plane.
