Drunk passenger not allowed to board flight

Ranchi: If you plan to get sloshed and take a flight and think no one will notice, you’re mistaken. Alcohol is not only prohibited on aircraft, tipplers are also not entertained.
For the first time, a resident of Ranchi, who was taking a Deccan flight to New Delhi yesterday in an inebriated condition, was booked for causing damage to property (a charger). He was not allowed to board the Deccan flight yesterday by station manager Krishna Yadav, who “suspected” the body language of the passenger. When he was not allowed to check-in, he entered into an argument with airport officials and broke an Airtel charger. He tried to pay for the damages through a cheque of Rs 5,000, which the authorities refused. Then he was made to pay in cash.
