Mangalore: Three passengers on board Dubai-bound AIX flight that took off on Thursday night were handed over by the crew to the Dubai police on Friday, August 17 morning, according to information available from families of other passengers who travelled with them.

The flight had taken off with 180 passengers and 10 crew. After the allotted liquor was served, three passengers who had boarded the plane in the city airport, reportedly insisted on getting some more supply.

In spite of the polite refusal by the staff, the trio started ringing the call-bell over and over and began arguing in raised voices, even reportedly using foul language. The other passengers faced the irritation and embarrassment right until Dubai, for three hours.

The three unruly passengers, identified as Gangadhar, Anish and Praveen, were taken into custody by the Dubai police on arrival.

As such things are not reported in the media in the Gulf, what action the police are likely to take against them will not be known.
