The Delhi High Court on Friday rejected comedian Kunal Kamra’s plea challenging flying ban by most domestic airlines for heckling Arnab Goswami.
While dismissing the petition, the High Court said, “This kind of behaviour certainly cannot be permitted.”
Kunal Kamra was put on flying ban by five airlines for heckling TV journalist Arnab Goswami aboard the IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Lucknow on January 28 on the basis of a directive issued by the Ministry of Aviation.”
The comedian allegedly accosted Goswami on the flight and called him out for his journalism, besides filming the entire episode and posting it on social media.
However, Goswami did not respond to Kamra’s questions and comments, according to the video.
The 31-year-old comedian had also sought an unconditional apology in all media and social media platforms being used by the airline and a compensation of Rs 25,00,000 on account of the mental pain and agony suffered by him as well as losses incurred on account of cancellation of his scheduled shows and programmes in India as well as abroad.
