BANGALORE: The Kempegowda International Airport police arrested a 24-year-old  women passenger after she was caught smoking in a lavatory of a Kolkata-Bangalore flight last week on March 5.

The cabin crew sensed the smell of smoke coming from the lavatory of the flight. When they tried open the door, Priyanka Chakraborty was smoking inside. She discarded the cigarette in a dust bin, after which the cabin crew poured water to douse it.  They reported the matter to the airline captain, who filed a complaint with the airport security, terming the passenger as “undisciplined”. The passenger was handed over to the airport security soon after the flight landed in Bengaluru airport.

On the basis of a complaint by the assistant manager security, Shankar K., the Kempegowda International Airport police arrested Priyanka Chakraborty, charging her under Section 336 (act of rashly and negligently endangering human life or the personal safety of others).
