Chennai: The State Human Rights Commission has directed the Director of Airports Authority of India, Thoothukudi, to produce the list of passengers who travelled from Chennai to Thoothukudi in the Indigo Airlines flight on September 3 in which Lois Sofia was on board.

Following the incident, Sofia’s father, AA Samy, approached the rights body to seek action against Tamilisai for allegedly harassing his daughter.
