According to airport officials, SpiceJet flights to Delhi, Jaipur, Jabalpur and Bangalore were all delayed leaving the passengers annoyed. "There wasn't any satisfactory assurances from the airline hence the passengers started retaliating.

"These passengers also tried to stop boarding of other flights. The situation worsened to a level that the local police had to be called on the spot to handle the situation," said an Airport Official.
