An Indian MP beat an airline employee repeatedly with a slipper after being unable to get a business class seat on an Air India flight.<\/p>\n
Ravindra Gaikwad later told Indian reporters he had “hit him 25 times with my sandal” for “arrogance”.<\/p>\n
The MP had been told he could not fly business class because it was an all-economy flight, reports say.<\/p>\n
Air India filed a police complaint and said it was considering a “no-fly” list for unruly passengers.<\/p>\n
The MP told media: “I am not a BJP MP. I am a Shiv Sena MP and will not tolerate any insult. Let the employee complain. I will complain to the Speaker and other authorities.”<\/p>\n
