IndiGo’s three officials have come under the legal radar after an FIR has been lodged against them under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita). The FIR has been filed by a trainee pilot, alleging caste-based discrimination at the company’s corporate office by his seniors Tapas Dey, Manish Sahani, and Captain Rahul Patil. Initially the case was registered as a zero FIR in Bengaluru but was later transferred to DLF-1 police station in Gurgaon, the Times of India reported. The airline faced severe online backlash for the alleged discriminatory practice.
