CHENNAI: A construction worker from Perambalur who had booked a ticket with Air India India Express to Singapore misbehaved with a woman airline staff at the Chennai airport was arrested by police on Sunday.
According to police, Elavarasan (45) from Perambalur was sent back from boarding the Sunday morning Air India Express flight to Singapore, as he was inebriated. The airline staff who found that Elavasaran was intoxicated, did not allow him to board the flight and cancelled his ticket.
