Airport police is investigating
IGI Airport police officials said they are investigating the complaint and any further action will be taken after talking to senior officials.

According to reports, the pilot attacked Dewan and his family at Terminal 1 during a dispute over the use of the staff security screening area, injuring Dewan.
The pilot made this claim
On Sunday, pilot Virendra Sejwal claimed that the incident was wrongly portrayed on social media as pilot versus passenger, which is not correct. In her statement, Sejwal alleged that Diwan abused her and he was continuously abusing her. Even threatened him. On Saturday, the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) ordered an investigation into the incident. The pilot was removed from official duty by the Tata Group airline.
