Now, another video has surfaced online showing Sahil Kataria apparently apologizing to the pilot with folded hands.

In response, the person shooting the video can be heard saying "no sorry".

A complaint has been received by Delhi Police, and appropriate legal action is being taken," said a Delhi Police officer. In the first video clip, the passenger, identified as Anup Kumar, was seen being shouted at by other crew members after being hit by the passenger.

1. A complaint regarding Sahil Kataria assaulting and misbehaving with the co-pilot and security personnel on IndiGo flight 6E 2175 has been filed by the co-pilot and other security personnel, according to the police.

2. The complaint states that Sahil Kataria misbehaved, hit the co-pilot, and created a nuisance inside the aircraft.

3. A case has been registered against the passenger under sections 323, 341, and 290 of the IPC, along with section 22 of the Aircraft Rules.

4. IndiGo Airlines has formed an internal committee to address the matter, with the committee tasked with determining appropriate actions, including the possibility of placing the accused passenger on the 'No Fly List' under the unruly behaviour category.

5. As per government rules released in 2017 on unruly passengers, if an airline finds a passenger's behaviour unruly, the pilot has to file a complaint, which is to be investigated by an internal panel.

6. During the probe, the airline can ban the flyer for a maximum of 30 days, and the committee has to decide on the matter within 30 days, specifying how long the flyer can be kept from travelling.
