Muslim passenger slapped on Indian plane, video goes Viral
A disturbing incident took place on an Indian airline when a Muslim passenger was slapped mid-flight by another passenger. The video of the incident is now going viral on social media, sparking widespread outrage.
According to reports, the Muslim passenger was suffering from a panic attack during the flight. A flight attendant was trying to calm him down and help him move to another seat when another man — described by many as mentally unstable and aggressive — suddenly slapped the passenger for no reason, allegedly just because he was Muslim.
Witnesses say the man showed no remorse and even argued with others when they tried to intervene. The flight attendant and several passengers protested the attack, but the aggressor refused to back down or apologize.
This incident has once again highlighted the increasing intolerance and open hate faced by Muslims in India — a trend that many say has grown worse under the current government.
The viral video has left many shocked, with viewers expressing anger over the treatment of the already distressed passenger. It’s a painful reminder of how deep-rooted discrimination can still appear — even thousands of feet in the air.
