In a bizarre incident, a man on board an AirAsia flight stripped himself twice and asked for an Italian smooch from one of the cabin crew members. Reportedly, the flight was en route to Bengaluru from Delhi earlier this week
According to the official sources of the aviation ministry, the entire case is being examined as per the inputs received from the crew. The passenger got undressed twice, broke his laptop, and asked for an Italian smooch from the crew.
As per the report by the Airports Authority of India, the passenger first approached a cabin crew member and requested a smooch, which was "firmly denied."
The crew members told him to be seated and further examined whether he was inebriated or into some medications, the report added.
"An inebriated guest onboard i5-722, from Bengaluru to New Delhi on April 6, 2021, behaved in an inappropriate manner including with a cabin crew on duty inflight," an AirAsia India spokesperson said.
For his actions, the man apologized and admitted that he was fine.

Past some time, an air hostess was shocked to find the man naked in his seat and asked him to get dressed, which he agreed to. However, when the plane landed, he removed his clothes again.
"On the ground, after he deplaned, guest again got undressed. Again he removed his clothes and broke his own laptop on the ground in the presence of AAI security staff. On repeated requests, the guest got dressed," the report said.
Going by the statement of another passenger, "the man initially had a verbal spat with cabin crew over life jackets. Thereafter some time he misbehaved with the crew onboard and stripped himself in the flight."
Notably, a complaint has been lodged by the AirAsia crew and Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri is said to be taking stern action on the passenger.
The reports further projected that he could face a 30-day ban during which he will be on the no-fly list - as is the rule for disruptive passengers.
