Man offloaded from flight for 'inconveniencing' co-passengers by doing yoga

The passengers onboard a flight spotted something very strange happening on the seats next to them, which they caught on camera and since has gone viral. The passenger was travelling on Colombo-bound carrier to San Diego when the bizarre behaviour was spotted.

Chennai: A seemingly 'mentally unstable' air passenger was on Wednesday offloaded from a Colombo-bound carrier after he caused 'inconvenience' to others by performing yoga and exercise on board, police said.

The crew’s repeated requests to the passenger against doing so fell on deaf ears.

He had come from Varanasi to the city to proceed to Colombo, they said.

After the passenger created ‘inconvenience to others, he was offloaded with the help of CISF who later handed him over to the police, they said, adding, a part of his ticket cost was also refunded by the private airline.

Since there was no formal complaint against the passenger, he was not arrested but was in the process of being handed over to the Sri Lanka Deputy High Commission here, they added.

He had in his possession both Sri Lankan and US passports, police said.
