Police have registered a case against two Non Resident Keralite businessmen for allegedly manhandling a staff of Jet Airways at the International airport here in an inebriated state.
According to the complaint filed before the airport police, the two Ismail and Tahir, allegedly beat up the airline's staff last night at the airport.
The duo, booked to board the Kochi-Sharjah flight, allegedly had an altercation with the airline staff while wanting to check in for their flight at a vacant counter without any printing/issuing facility for boarding passes, a Jet Airways spokesperson said in a statement.
Airport security were called in and the matter was handed over to authorities and further investigations are in progress, the statement said.
