An IndiGo flight 6E-767 which was bound for Hyderabad from Indira Gandhi International Airport was forced to abort its takeoff when a drunk passenger on board allegedly fought with the crew of the IndiGo flight. The incident took place on the night of November 20, 2018, when the IndiGo aircraft returned to Delhi airport terminal after it had reached the taxiway and was a few minutes away from taking off to Hyderabad.

According to the airport officials, the drunk passenger got up from his seat as the plane headed towards the runway and refused to be seated or follow the instructions of the crew aboard. As a result, the airline had to call the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which took charge of the flight and offloaded the drunk passenger. The drunk passenger was detained for a brief time and was later released by the CISF.
