New Delhi: Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad on Friday said that he would file a defamation case against the Air India CMD and its staffer R Sukumar, who he allegedly thrashed, if they do not apologise for bringing "ignominy" to him.
Gaikwad said he plans to file the case at a court in Osmanabad (Maharashtra), his Lok Sabha constituency, next week against the "main officials" of Air India for allegedly defaming him.
He has also filed a complaint at the airport police station against the airline officials for allegedly misbehaving with him.Also Read: Can't Take Suo moto action against MP for assault, says Speaker Sumitra Mahajan
Hitting out at Sukumar, Gaikwad reiterated that the Air India staffer "misbehaved" with him and said the footage of the CCTV camera installed in the aircraft concerned can be checked to verify "who was at fault".
"The other AI employees kept telling him (Sukumar) that I was not at fault. Yet, he was arrogant, misbehaved with me..he spread false information that I misbehaved over seat issues," he added.
Gaikwad also said that he has already discussed the entire episode with his party leadership.
Confirming the filing of a complaint by the MP, a senior Delhi Police officer said, "He has given a complaint to DCP (Airport) against Air India officials alleging that they misbehaved with him by pushing him. He has also alleged that they didn't give him Business Class seats and instead made him sit in Economy Class."
