Crew complains against Pappu Yadav

Bihar MP Pappu Yadav's allegedly unruly behaviour with an airhostess on a Patna-Delhi Jet Airways flight on Tuesday forced the captain to seek priority landing in the capital and ask for security presence at the arrival gate. Yadav's ire was directed at a senior airhostess who tried to enforce mandatory safety rules, and the lawmaker reportedly threatened to beat her with his 'chappal'. The airhostess has complained in writing to the airline, certified as "true and authentic" by the captain. "This is shameful and if a VIP manhandles our crew and gets away free of any charge," the captain's note says. TOI has a copy of the complaint. The LS member, recently expelled from Lalu Yadav's RJD, though denied the incident. "Complaint thane mein kyon nahin ki? Hamara koi matter nahin hai. The crew had an issue with four other business class passengers. Un chaaron se baat kariye aap," Pappy Yadav nee Rajesh Ranjan told TOI.
