Drunk Indians harass crew in business class, offloaded in Hong Kong

Beijing/New Delhi: On December 30, three Indian business class fliers on Cathay Pacific (flight CX695), which was to leave Hong Kong for New Delhi at 10.20pm, got drunk at the airport lounge and misbehaved with the waitresses there. One of them held a diplomatic passport.
When the waitresses refused to give them more drinks, they turned abusive. But realizing they were running late, they proceeded to board the aircraft.
Once in, they demanded even more alcohol. The air hostesses, sensing that the three passengers were already sloshed, refused to serve them more drinks.
To the utter shock and embarrassment of several Indian co-fliers, the three then began questioning the crew's morals in Hindi, mouthing filthy abuses.
The flight was delayed by 30 minutes due to the fracas. The captain, on hearing about the ruckus, called for the drunk passengers to be offloaded.
On their way out, one of them flashed his red diplomatic passport and threatened dire consequences for Cathay Pacific.
One of them, with a diplomatic passport, abused the air hostesses who were serving other business class passengers.
