The airline’s late public apology, which came three weeks after the incident, and action to fire an emp- loyee who shot a video of the scuf- fle, didn’t help as angry comments poured into social media, with the hashtag #boycottIndiGo trending on Twitter on Tuesday and Wed- nesday. The government said it has sought a report on the incident. Shares of Interglobe Aviation, the airline’s parent, fell 2.29% to end the day at . `1,181.75 on the BSE, underperforming the benchmark Sensex that closed 0.46% lower. The civil aviation ministry has so- ught a detailed report of the incident, minister of state Jayant Sinha said on Twitter. The minister said he will meet Montu Kalra, the IndiGo staff who shot the video and was later ter- minated by the airline. He also hoped that the passenger, Rajiv Katyal, wo- uld file a police complaint against his assaulters. The manhandling incident that oc- curred on October 15 came into public attention on Tuesday, after the video shot by Kalra surfaced in the media. The video shows Katyal just about to board a shuttle to the Delhi airport's ar- rival terminal after having deplaned from a flight that came from Chennai. It finds him in a heated altercation with IndiGo's ground staff. Katyal is accused of abusing an employee which he irri- tably denies. The footage shows the In- diGo staff shoving the passenger to ground and pinning him down there. In a seven-page letter to the ministry, IndiGo's president, Aditya Ghosh, sa- id the altercation started a few minu- tes before the incident, when a gro- und staff, Juby Thomas, warned Ka- tyal to stay away from a lift he was "in- advertently advancing towards".
