A sedition complaint was on Tuesday filed against the Indigo Airlines for refusing to accept Indian currency.
Delhi-based Pramod Kumar Jain filed a complaint against IndiGo Airlines under Section 124 (A) of the Indian Penal Code after its crew allegedly refused to accept Indian currency when he ordered food. The complaint has been registered at Sarojini Nagar Police Station.
As per the complaint, Pramod Kumar Jain was travelling from Bangalore to Dubai in an IndiGo flight number 6E95 on November 10. Since Kumar didn’t include meal on his flight ticket, he ordered food. However, the crew of the IndiGo flight refused to provide him food as he was paying in Indian currency. The crew members said they were only allowed to take foreign currency, Kumar alleged.
