Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad boards train after flight ban

New Delhi, Mar 24 (IBNS): Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad boarded a train to reach Mumbai following the flight ban imposed on him by the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) for assaulting a 60 years old Air India staff member, on Friday, according to media reports.

Shiv Sena MP slapped a 60-year-old Airline officer on Thursday, before the take-off.

All Airlines which are under FIA would not allow Gaikwad to board their planes.

Though Sena MP was confident to board the flight on Friday evening, the Air India cancelled his ticket and refunded the money.

The Delhi police registered an FIR against Shiv Sena MP on charges of culpable homicide and criminal assault under sections 308 and 355.

A video footage clearly shows that the MP was slapping an officer with slippers and other people present were trying to control the situation.

According to Airlines, the incident was an assault of the entire organisation and they asked for no apology from the MP since they do not want him to board the flight.

However Gaikwad refused to apologise for the entire incident.
